Dizzy Gillespie Posters
Born in South Carolina in 1917,
John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie became an
influential trumpeter, singer, and composer. Though most trumpets are
traditionally straight, Gillespie preferred one that was bent at a 45 degree
angle. This occurred after an accident bent his trumpet, but he liked the
new sound so much that he decided to have all his trumpets tuned that way.
Dizzy played with the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and
many many more of the Bebop era jazz legends.
