Synopsis
Album Description
BD Jazz is a new label which offers listeners an introduction to some of the greatest jazz musicians of our time through a two disc set of their most-loved songs. Additionally, a 16 page illustrated book is included, which offers an insight into their lives and music. This specially formatted piece is a must-have for jazz fans as well as jazz neophytes trying to learn about the genre. Famed trumpeter Dizzy Gillepsie, born in 1917 in South Carolina, was stylistically and technically unparalleled for more than thirty years (when some argue John Faddis became heir to the Gillespie throne). Playing in the bands of Ella Fitzgerald, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, Charlie Barnet, Fess Williams, Duke Ellington, Cab Callaway and many others before great success as a bandleader, Dizzie Gillespie is truly a giant of jazz.
