Dizzy Gillespie
Born: 21st October 1917, Cheraw, S.Carolina, USA
Died: 6th January 1993, Englewood, NJ, USA
Nationality: American
John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator and singer. He was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuosic style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz. His combination of musicianship, showmanship, and wit made him a leading popularizer of the new music called bebop. His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, scat singing, bent horn, pouched cheeks, and light-hearted personality have made him an enduring icon.
In the 1940s, Gillespie, with Charlie Parker, became a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz.
