Classic Sesame Street: Dizzy Gillespie Performs "Birks' Works"

I love how the lady in the back to the right starts laughing when she notices that the while girl is clapping on 1 and 3

Seeing this episode as a child inspired me to have a strong love for Dizzy's music! I still am inspired to play.

I wonder how many of those kids were inspired to go into music in some way after watching the great Diz!

Giving the kids a bit of culture :)

Isn't that Tatiana Ali, from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, from 27 to 33 seconds? Looks just like her. I believe that's her.

@fielderg1 I totally agree with you, that was one of the first things I noticed was that I think that's Tatiana Ali. If know else agrees with you I do 100%

This is what is lacking in our schools and kid TV today. We should be teaching them about great American artists playing real art.

Why don't we tap into the greaan art and music? Many young people would love this and inspire them. ST IN MUSIC BUT TO FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS A SET A NEW CXOURSE TOWARDS INNOVATION.

Man, to be one of those kids to just sit there and chill with Diz.
