Today In History

Dizzy Gillespie, famed jazz trumpeter was born in Cheraw, South Carolina on this date October 21 1917.

A trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuosic style of Roy Eldridge, but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz. Gillespie played with Charlie Parker and developed the music known as “bebop.”

Dizzy Gillespie beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, scat singing, bent horn, pouched cheeks, and light-hearted personality provided one of bebop’s most prominent symbols.

His best-known compositions include “Oop Bob Sh’ Bam,” “Salt Peanuts” and “A Night in Tunisia.”
