Dizzy Gillespie

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani speaks of Dizzy Gillespie as a trumpeter and bop soloist12 and as a companion of Bud Powell3. He names him among the jazzmen who enrich the chords of the blues4. In 2012, discussing Michel Clouscard, he uses him to contrast two eras: Gillespie played the music of his own time, whereas a young musician today replays his forty-year-old solos5. He returns to this idea with the bebop tunes still heard in the metro6. He also describes his playing: a trumpeter who sings, uses circular breathing and puffs out his cheeks like a snake charmer7. What he takes from Gillespie is his virtuosity, which forced Miles Davis to look for another path8. He points out that Gillespie's big band, which he calls the loudest in jazz history, had John Lewis as its arranger9. Finally, he notes that the Double Six transcribed his acrobatic solos for voice10.
