With his horn-rimmed glasses, goatee, jive talk, and upraised trumpet bell, he was the hipster who most personified bebop. The musical heir to Louis Armstrong, he created the modern jazz trumpet-playing style and dazzled aficionados and popular audiences alike for over 50 years. In this first full biography, Alyn Shipton covers all aspects of Dizzy's remarkable life and career, taking us through his days as a flashy trumpet player in the swing bands of the 1930's, his innovative bebop work in the 1940's,Jazz musiciansUnited StatesBiographyJazz musicians781.65092788.92165092Shipton Alyn476978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812730103321Groovin' high4084214UNINA
