Dizzy: Life and Times of John Birks Gillespie

by Donald L . Maggin (Author)

Synopsis

Dizzy Gillespie has secured his place in the jazz pantheon as one of the most expressive and virtuosic improvisers in the history of the music. Born black in fiercely racist Cheraw, South Carolina in 1917, Dizzy combined great energy, and a one-in-a-million talent to climb quickly out of rural poverty. This biography chronicles Dizzy's saga.
