 Dizzy Gillespie

 
Name: Dizzy Gillespie
Nee: John Birks Gillespie
Born: 21 Oct 1917
Died: 6 Jan 1993
Origin: Cheraw, South Carolina, United States
Instruments: Trumpet
Dizzy Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and gifted improviser. In addition to his instrumental skills, Dizzy's beret and horn-rimmed specs, his goofy scat singing, his bent horn and pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality put a human face on what many, including some of its creators, regarded as threatening and frightening music. In his playing, Dizzie Gillespie built on the 'saxophonic' style of Roy Eldridge and then went far beyond it.
