APRIL IS JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH!

■ The Story of Dizzy Gillespie(1917–1993)

John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie was one of the most important and influential jazz trumpeters, after Louis Armstrong. Dizzy Gillespie, along with his colleagues Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, are considered to be the “fathers” of the fast-and-furious style

Gillespie began playing a “new” kind of music that would later be known as bebop. Unfortunately his bandleader, Cab Calloway, hated it. Gillespie was eventually fired from Cab Calloway’s group which really proved to be a blessing in disguise. For the next three years Gillespie did great work with some of the most popular jazz musicians of the time, such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. From the performances with those musicians, Dizzy also met alto saxophonist Charlie Parker and pianist Thelonious Monk. Gillespie and Monk became partners in jazz, and they worked on jazz theory for hours, which led to the bebop era.th

Late in 1942, pianist Earl Hines brought Dizzy into his band along with Charlie Parker. “A Night in Tunisia” was their first bebop hit. Later, Dizzy teamed with Charlie Parker and the recordings that resulted from this band became extremely popular, such as “Salt Peanuts,” “Shaw Nuff,” “Groovin’ High,” and “I Can’t Get Started.”

Roy Eldridge, trumpet player extraordinaire, was a mentor to Dizzy Gillespie.

After his trumpet bell was bumped and tilted during a concert, Dizzy decided he liked it and had his trumpets custom-made in that fashion.

In 1946 Gillespie put together a jazz orchestra that included Milt Jackson (vibes), John Lewis (piano), Ray Brown (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums), James Moody (saxophone), J. J. Johnson (trombone) and Chano Pozo (percussion), who shared Gillespie’s growing love of Afro-Cuban/Latin jazz. Gillespie continued to play innovative music throughout the 1950s and 1960s, recording with a wide assortment of jazz greats.

Dizzy Gillespie had a love for teaching and sharing his knowledge of jazz with younger musicians. He formed a big band for overseas tours and inspired countless young musicians around the world.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Gillespie toured and performed with the great contributors of jazz. He was invited to the White House by President Jimmy Carter after returning from a tour in Cuba where he celebrated his love for Afro-Cuban music in 1977. In the late 1980s, Gillespie was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which ultimately led to his death on January 6, 1993 in Englewood, New Jersey.

Minton’s Playhouse: The House of Bebop

Minton’s Playhouse is regarded as the sanctuary where bebop had its beginning. Minton’s Playhouse was located in Harlem and opened its doors in 1940. The owner and visionary of the club was Henry Minton, an accomplished musician on the clarinet. The club was special because the jam session policies were set up to allow many musicians to participate, leading to much experimentation.

Henry Minton hired Teddy Hill to manage the club. Hill was also a successful bandleader who was very personable and well-liked by musicians. Minton’s Playhouse provided fertile ground for creativity, expanding a positive environment to share and nurture ideas. It was operated like an “after hours joint.”” This was good because many of the musicians would visit the club around 3 a.m., after their gigs (jobs), and would generally play music until 9 a.m. Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, and Dizzy Gillespie were among the many regulars at the club.
