What kind of trumpet case does he use for that, I've always wondered, lol.

[Spider2point0]

That is an odd-looking instrument...but it sounds great, lol. I like this original, but I think I've fallen in love with a cover of this by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Don't get me wrong, though; I love me some Dizzy Gillespie. :D

@GeoCoppens Much as I admire Dizzy, I feel that he roughly played one standard solo all the time. I agree that Fats Navarro was a greater stylist, but to be the best you have to be up against a good many players, from Bix to Miles. I don't know, they were all tremendous: Harry Edison, Jonah Jones, Cootie Williams, Jabbo Smith, Satchmo, Brownie, Lee Morgan, Art Farmer (now he could play bebop!). Best to you.

Thumbs up if you cannot blow up your face like he does oO

@toabns44 I noticed the cheeks thing too, haha,... it just goes against all the teaching laws these days,.... tho he does it pretty well ;))

[toabns44]

I feel like I should mention his cheeks. No one else has though so I'll just leave it. It might be against the code to comment on a trumpet players jowels.

@rcova The best jazz trumpet player in history MUST be Fats Navarro! May I quote pianist Lennie Tristano? "Dizzy is a nice trumpet player but he's no Fats." I concur!
