Dizzy Gillespie

Alongside contemporaries such as Charlie Parker and Bud Powell, trumpet player John "Dizzy" Gillespie was a key composer and performer in the development of the Bebop style of jazz. Widely regarded as one of the greatest trumpeters of all time, with his uniquely shaped, signature bent trumpet, and distinctive style of playing with inflated cheeks, he contributed hugely to popularising and shaping the Bebop sound and continued to do the same for Afro-Cuban jazz throughout his long career.
