DIZZY GILLESPIE: A Night in Chicago
NEA Jazz Masters
•
53m
Filmed live in Chicago, this performance showcases the trumpet-playing legend as the complete entertainer. The Founding Father of BeBop plays, sings and scats, dances and jokes with a joy and exuberance that light up the stage.
"Dizzy's infectious joy and irreverent humor made him a living symbol of American music, a global ambassador, a larger-than life figure with his blow- fish cheeks and bent-bellhorn-who helped transform bebop into an inter- national language." - Chip Stern, MUSICIAN MAGAZINE
