New Wave! is an album by Dizzy Gillespie consisting of live and studio performances recorded in 1962 and released on the Philips label in 1963.

In his DownBeat magazine review of March 14, 1963, jazz critic Don DeMichael wrote that “Dizzy plays marvelously on this record… There’s a spirit evident that is all too often missing from today’s record sessions – a spirit of vivacious humor and playing-for-the-hell-of-it.”

The AllMusic review states: “this was one of Dizzy Gillespie’s finest sessions of the 1960s… Highly recommended.”
