| | Dizzy Gillespie |
 | | Dizzy Gillespie was one of the most famous composers of be-bop, a form of modern jazz that he created along with pianist Thelonious Monk, drummer Kenny Clarke, guitarist Charlie Christian, and alto saxophonist Charlie "Yardbird" Parker. | | | Gillespie contributed an enormous amount to jazz and modern music and he played up until he died, which was on this day, January 6, 1993. | | | Gillespie described be-bop as music with a different accent, "... |

| | Dizzy Gillespie |
| | The name Dizzy resulted from his zestful behaviour and was actually bestowed by a fellow trumpeter, Fats Palmer, whose life Gillespie saved when Palmer was overcome by fumes in a gas-filled room during a tour with the Frankie Fairfax band. | | | Subsequently, Gillespie formed his own big band, which enjoyed only limited commercial success but which was, musically, an early peaking of the concept of big band bebop. | | | The following year, 1940, Gillespie met Charlie Parker in Kansas City, during a tour with the Calloway band, and established musical rapport with the man with whom he was to change the face and sound of jazz. |

| | Dizzy himself removed "most of the rhythmic and harmonic aspects of bebop that where hardest for uninitiated listeners to understand or appreciate." It was that light-version of bebop that made him popular. | | | Recorded in 1961, the album shows Gillespie and his Quintet at their best. | | | Besides that, Gillespie also developed Afro-Cuban jazz and produced later with composer and pianist Lalo Schifrin some major works for the concert hall and was part of the - not always so tasteful - bossanova craze (English lyrics do not match with bossanova, a music created for Brazilian-Portugues). |

| | Kennedy Center: Biographical information for Dizzy Gillespie |
| | Gillespie, however, was a natural public relations man for this music with his hair-raising technical virtuousity, harmonic adventurousness, and most of all, integrating showmanship. | | | Gillespie's legacy is probably best summed up by Gillespie himself in a statement that would sound a bit arrogant if it weren't so probable: "The music of Charlie Parker and me laid a foundation for all the music that is being played now. | | | It was in this hothouse atmosphere of creativity that Gillespie and his cohorts astonished the world with their aggressive ornamentations, complex harmonic alterations, and rhythmic exploration that would soon be labeled "bebop." "What they did was like nitroglycerine, electricity," says Quincy Jones. |

| | Dizzy Gillespie, who had led earlier bands on 52nd Street, finally teamed up with Charlie Parker on records. | | | Dizzy's beret, goatee, and "bop glasses" helped make him a symbol of the music and its most popular figure. | | | However, Calloway did not care for Gillespie's constant chance-taking, calling his solos "Chinese music." After an incident in 1941 when a spitball was mischievously thrown at Calloway (he accused Gillespie but the culprit was actually Jonah Jones), Dizzy was fired. |

| | Dizzy then went on to form a bebop big band and did more trailblazing, as he fused Cuban rhythms to his music (called cubop). | | | They were the perfect fit, because they had similar ideas about the music and because Gillespie was one of the few trumpeters who could keep up with Parker, both in understanding of harmonic theory as well as virtuosity. | | | Parker and Gillespie made some of the most glorious bebop music ever together in the forties. |

| | Gillespie's ability to play high notes and create dramatic runs sometimes obscure the fact that he is playing solos every bit as harmonically complex as Parker's, but the two musicians are obviously very much in synch, the perfect musical team. | | | The first six tracks on Disc Two feature the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, which was later signed to RCA Victor and recorded until early 1950. | | | Though the first 10 tracks are recorded in 1946, not long after the first public exposure to bebop, Gillespie is already moving into new territory, attempting to fuse the energy and harmonic twists of bop to the big band format. |

| | Bebop, that high-speed, rhythmically and tonally challenging style of jazz, was essentially born in Dizzy’s blown-out cheeks. | | | His solos often put him in precarious positions, pushing harmonic and rhythmic limits, teetering on the precipice of dissolution and uncontrolled dissonance. | | | Bebop opened jazz up to the twelve-note chromatic scale, significantly expanding harmonic possibilities. |
