Description

|
"Diz? I think he contributed 75 percent of modern music, as far as I'm concerned," Count Basie once opined. "That's right, I think he's one of the greatest." With Charlie Parker, Gillespie pioneered the sound and style of bebop jazz, and became known as much for such compositions as "A Night in Tunisia" as for his masterful trumpet playing. In this book, with a 50-page gallery of captioned black and white photos, Lee Tanner pays homage to Gillespie in his 75th year, examining his career from the 1940s to the 90s with memorable anecdotes and quotations by and about Dizzy.
