Jazz Icons: Dizzy Gillespie- Live In '58 & '70 Preview

The Jazz Icons: Dizzy Gilespie DVD, released Sept. 26, 2006, features two historic concerts from one of the founding fathers of bebop. Filmed 12 years apart, the 1958 concert features Dizzy working eloquently within the small combo structure of a quintet including such influential musicians as sax player Sonny Stitt and bassist Ray Brown. The second show focuses on a completely different side of Dizzy, fronting the legendary Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band. With a 16-piece big band to conduct, including two drummers, his Latin influences are revealed on "Con Alma" and "Manteca."

Not true. He learned to play "incorrectly" and herniated some of the muscles involved in producing his sound. The medical condition is called "Gillespie's pouches" and is named for Dizzy.
