Beskrivelse

Dizzy Gillespie and Jon Faddis in a concert, New York City, 1975.

Dizzy Gillespie (by name John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, educator, and singer. He pioneered Afro-Cuban and won several Grammy Awards. Gillespie was such a complex player that his contemporaries ended up being similar to those of Miles Davis and Fats Navarro instead, and it was not until Jon Faddis´s emergence in the 1970s that Dizzy´s style was successfully recreated.

b. October 21, 1917 in Cheraw, South Carolina.
d. January 6, 1993 in Englewood, New Jersey.
