you guys are idots for bitching about how dizzy puffs his cheeks, once your as great and legendary as him, then you can say whatever you want, obviously its not recommended for a trumpet student to puff their cheeks when they play, but dizzy is a legend and as far as im concered no one can tell him how to play because regardless of what he does with his cheeks when he plays, every1 knows that hes the best, and you cant argue with greatness
@jimpoopy16 Very true! Only young idiots that have no idea who Dizzy was, personally and what he created musically, can say such stupid things. Dizzy puffed his cheeks, Wes Montgomery played guitar without a pick, Monk had a very strange piano technique to say the least but WHO CARES? These were the jazz greats of their time. Sadly, pop idols like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson will be praised for the next 2,000 years, even for things that they NEVER did. The masses are basically STUPID.
@jimpoopy16 your completly right anyone who plays trumpet out there dizzy plays that because it works for him maynard furguson doesnt held his trumpet like most band directors would like and he was great so find the way you like to play and play that way instead of complaing about how other people play R.I.P Maynard Furguson
@DaClaw7227 If you must know, Dizzy plays with the bent pipe due to an accident...he liked it that way, so he kept it as such...His cheeks puff out due to the imense presure that he puts into the horn...just another style of music my friend...dont like it, then dont listen to it...
I love Dizzy!! I spent a weekend with him when I was a senior lead trumpet at Manchester College in the late 80's. We had a great dinner and smoked some really good California dessert together! I still have the concert poster with hand written cord changes for some songs he and the piano/clarinet player put together before the show
@123must Dizzy came first, without Dizzy you wouldn't have Miles, at least not the great Miles Davis that we know today. Without Beethoven you wouldn't have Wagner, Wagner/Strauss, Wagner/Mahler, It's the same everywhere. Nobody creates something COMPLETELY new. People are always influenced by their enviornment. As the old saying goes: "There's nothing new under the sun..."
@IMadeThese - Dizzy learned much of what he can do by himself. So nobody ever corrected him, and as much as he practiced in his yooung years:-) then this happens. This is a great example on why I as Trumpet teacher tells my students, not to puff their cheeks. Tubas and trombones can do it because they don't need as much compression as a trumpet :-)
i played with diz, for me he was the best of the best, you will never see that in your life mr, drums phil ambros .....see phil on youtube sinatra and phil ambros on the set buddy rich gave him..diz i loved you philly
I heard the story was actually he was at a gig. and a large man had sat on his trumpet; bending the bell to look like that. He has played one like that ever since. Custom making all of them
I heard the story was actually he was at a gig. and a large man had sat on his trumpet; bending the bell to look like that. He has played one like that ever since. Custom making all of them
His trumpet bell was bent in an accident as he was coming down stairs and fell;however he went on with the show and liked the sound of the horn, which he could hear better and started to order all his trumpets that way. Neat to see someone turn an accident into a whole new sound. It was a King Silver Flair Trumpet.
@killertromboner IT is actually because he had a disease which made him lose control of his muscles in his cheeks, which caused them to puff out like that worse as he got older
i played a little trumpet, once upon, a once upon,[yeah i typed it twice on purpose] and i have to say, that, my cheeks, hurt, just watching diz blow. i caught his act several times,when he was with us. a great player, and, innovator;a great person,and, an extraordinary performer,with a wonderful, mad-cap, sense of humor. dizzy and bird, are raisin' hell in heaven...
with the recent street protests in Tunisia, I thought of this one by "the Diz" who autographed a cassette insert of mine at Grants Tomb in NYC about twenty years ago!@ lol
Got to hear Diz blow the trumpet a lot. Never got to hear Diz scat sing very much. Very cool. Funny thing when you learn to play trumpet or any brass horn they teach you NOT to puff your cheeks. Geniuses dont need to follow the rules.
fd4519.Fantástico Dizzy Gillespie,o trumpete de ouro,um verdadeiro standard do fabuloso jazz,fundamental na musicalidade mundial.O beat da música é muito en-volvente com um profundo feeling na divisão musicalo.Baterista também muito bom nas levadas com caixa seca em sua drum.Viajemos neste som.
@MyYearTheDreamer What a wonderful person to have in the family. I met him briefly in 1985. He was very gracious, warm and witty. For me, it was like meeting Beethoven. A true honor and a very special moment in my life. Such genius! BTW, I'm looking at his autograph right now while I'm typing this. It still brings back such a fond memory. You have much to be proud of. :-)
Dizzy was the greatest of all jazz musicians...well, after Satchmo! As the phenomenally talented Al "Jumbo" Hirt said, "If you ever played jazz, or improvised on a melody, YOU OWE SATCH!" But, Diz is nearly as influential to the world of jazz as was Louis. His personality, like Satch's, was a huge part of his appeal, also. You can see that here too!
This is a very good band, with Ack Van Rooyen, Wilton Gaynair, Heinz van Herrmann & Otto Brendel - some great jazzmen!!!
Fantastic video, a good tight band. I am most grateful that I saw Dizzy Gillespie with a fine band including Monk, Jimmy Smith, and 5 other top players who were all A grade musos in their own right. One of the few advantages of living a very long way
theres a rap group that used this as a sample in their record in the late 80's .
The name of the group is Gangstarr and the guy name is Guru. The song is titled "Words I manifest". Check it out the brother has a really good groove with his style. This is considered Hip Hop not rap. Plus the song has a good mesage.
he does that because he never learned the right way to hold your chops, but no one is gonna try to fix him now that he can play so well like that. i wouldnt recommend recreating it
He was working a job and left it and came back to discover it like that. It had fallen and the brads had broken he still used it to play the job that night and liked the sound and so had a custom made like that.
That's the stuff legends are made of. There are countless stories out there of how his horn came to be. Only Dizzy really knew the answer. Sure makes the stories fun though!
Dizzy doesnt purposefully puff out his cheeks. when he tightens them they justhappen to take that form so they look puffed out. It's actually a medical condition called "Dizzy Gillespie Syndrome"
@microtion what medical condition? that's total humbug. Look up the Gillespie syndrome and you'll find a genetic disorder. His cheeks were just dubbed humorously as "Gillespie pouches".
@microtion actually what really happens is when he's playing he uses the air from is lungs and diafram, when he's out of air, he uses the air stored up in his cheeks, after he's finished with his cheekes he uses the air from his lungs and diafram and starts storing more air in his cheeks. It's a very complex thing that only he can do (and a few other people I think) I learned this in music class and on different TV shows
@QmanTV Actually its a quite common technique called circular breathing. There are many players who do it (A lot of them woodwind players) and to be able to play the didgeridoo properly you pretty much have to do it.
@QmanTV It's not actually that complicated. The hardest thing is to be able to keep the pressure high enough and holding your embouchure when using the air stored in your mouth. I'm not sure how hard that is for trumpet players but it took me several months after initially learning the technique before I could actually use it while playing saxophone.
lol ... i was always taught not to puff my cheeks when i play, but obviously puffing your cheeks is just a matter of personal preferrance because this dude is sick..!!
yeah my trumpet teacher straight up said that. he was like "you should learn not to puff your cheeks, unless you're Dizzy Gillespie, and then it's okay."
Jazz will never die !!! another THANKS DAD moment !!! in the 60's growing up as kids we always wondered what Dad was listening to !!! We finally found out!!!
Now Dizzy's coca cola club at Columbus circle N.Y.C. i missed him and he did'nt see the venue dedicated to him.
its not that he's putting more air into it, his cheeks puffed up like that because of a medical condition they named after him- "Gillespie's Pouches" is actually a term used in medical field to describe this kind of distention of the cheeks.
you guys are idots for bitching about how dizzy puffs his cheeks, once your as great and legendary as him, then you can say whatever you want, obviously its not recommended for a trumpet student to puff their cheeks when they play, but dizzy is a legend and as far as im concered no one can tell him how to play because regardless of what he does with his cheeks when he plays, every1 knows that hes the best, and you cant argue with greatness

@QmanTV Actually its a quite common technique called circular breathing. There are many players who do it (A lot of them woodwind players) and to be able to play the didgeridoo properly you pretty much have to do it.

@QmanTV It's not actually that complicated. The hardest thing is to be able to keep the pressure high enough and holding your embouchure when using the air stored in your mouth. I'm not sure how hard that is for trumpet players but it took me several months after initially learning the technique before I could actually use it while playing saxophone.

Dizzy's tremendously puffed-up cheeks are really something quite special

yeah my trumpet teacher straight up said that. he was like "you should learn not to puff your cheeks, unless you're Dizzy Gillespie, and then it's okay."

its not that he's putting more air into it, his cheeks puffed up like that because of a medical condition they named after him- "Gillespie's Pouches" is actually a term used in medical field to describe this kind of distention of the cheeks.
