Description
So I have recently become re-infatuated with the brilliant, frenzied, hyperkinetic trumpet playing of early Dizzy Gillespie.It is easy to get lost in the happy go lucky, big cheeked, bent horned image. The truth is that Dizzy had more influence on the direction of bebop than almost anyone else (even more than Charlie Bird Parker) and was a player of very very few technical peers.

This is one of two Dizzy images. The dizzy one bang refers to it being Dizzy, the first of two, and the bang (exclamation sign) in the sound bubble. The second one will be...maybe a little more difficult to get.

Very nice, man.
I need to start listening to more Dizzy and Charlie. Just finished Miles Davis' autobio, had some interesting stores about the two of them. Of course, most were about Charlie...

I've always loved his trumpet and, what was it called, Swing Low Sweet Cadillac.
Those pens look like they would be really fun to use.

I love you how his energy comes through via the brush strokes! Well done.

This needs to be a T-shirt. Not many cool cats walk around with jazz-inspired T-shirts these days.
But this would would make a cool coffee mug and I do need a new mug.
