Dizzy Gelespie (John Birks Gillespie)

The voices of today's people, The Beatles and Pearl Jam forget the music style that has evolved into these artists' paths, musicians that have evolved into rock music, rhythm and blues, rap and hip hop. Unfortunately, the music that once dominated nightclubs, restaurants, radio stations can now only be heard at the elevator, or we go to grandparents' house. The rest of the jazz is a small part of the music sampled by people taking in new songs.

John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was born in 1927 in a large poor family in Cheraw, South Carolina, the mother of Gillespie is a housewife, and his father is a brickworker who plays the piano in a weekend band. If Gillespie was not practicing music, his father put a belt on him. At the age of 14, Gillespie received a band scholarship as a trumpet player from Laurinburg Institute of Technology in North Carolina. After his father died in 1935, Gillespie 's mother transferred her family to Philadelphia. So, Gillespie began music with money. At the age of 20, he moved to New York with a trumpet in a paper bag.

John Barks Gillespie, the smallest of the nine children, taught himself about trombone, then turned to trumpet when he was 12 years old. He grew up in poverty, received a scholarship from the agricultural school (Rollingburg University, North Carolina State), and then quit school in 1935 and found a musician. Originally inspired by Roy Eldridge, Gillespie (he soon got the nickname "Dizzy") joined the Philadelphia Frank Fairfax. In 1937 he became a member of the Teddy Hill Orchestra previously filled by Eldridge. Dizzy made his debut at Hill's "King Porter Stomp" and traveled to Europe with a band in a short time. After a year's freelance, Gillespie joined Cab Calloway Orchestra (1939-1941). In many cases, in conjunction with the conductor of the popular band, he shot many short films to track his development.

Dizzy Gillespie served not only as a jazz history, a very special style trumpet player, but also as a singer and band leader. Dizzy Gillespie was born in John Birks in 1917. The nickname Dizzy that appeared in the second half of his life is due to the strange way he declared at the concert and surreal spells. Young Dizzy began a campaign in 1933 at the Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina. After joining New York's Teddy Hill and the orchestra, Dizzy met other "progressive" places in Europe with the Moulin Rouge and Teddy in 1937. In the late 1930s things began to develop rapidly. Young Dizzy began working with great jazz characters such as Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonious Monk, Fletcher Henderson, Charlie Bird Parker, Sarah Vaughn and so on. In the late 1940s, Dizzy Gillespie began to develop a unique, very different and rebellious jazz style.
