I was visiting family in NYC in '84, was a fat teenager then. Family took me to a jazz club, and Dizzy was playing that night. Had a ball, just entranced by his playing. Sat right up front and I'll never forget Dizzy blowing, looking down at this chubby teen bobbing to his music, and winked at me. Made an already awesome night unforgettable!

Growing up in the 80s I was focused on my shred guitar players, and wanted to be on MTV. I've made Jazz my business over the last few years and REALLY gotten into Diz. Man I missed the bus BIG TIME. Had I understood back in my developmental years of music the intricacies of Jazz, and just what a good human, teacher and musician Diz was, I would have gone a TOTALLY different direction and been the player years ago I should be today.

@sonofromel 11 ай бұрын

Nothing wrong in my opinion. You didn't miss anything. I was into Yngwie and Frank Gambale in my teens. Loved 80s metal up until now. At the same time I listen to jazz even though I couldn't name a lot and I have to consult my playlist. Fusion too, I'd fire up Pat Metheny from time to time. Then pick up my classical and play some Villa Lobos. Most of what I'm into are older than me, nothing wrong with gravitating to what speaks to us, whatever stage in our lives.

Talked with Diz after his performance at Georgetown's Blues Alley in DC '86 or '87. Shaking hands with Diz; one of my hero musicians since I was able to walk as a toddler in 1962, floored me because he looked so sad; then later I found out he knew he was dying. Diz is alive when we put on a 78, LP, or CD; just like Bird and many others. RIP Diz.

Dizzy Gillespie believed that if you did not fill your cheeks and neck with air, you were restricting air flow and power when you played. He thought that would be harmful the body. If you have ever played a brass or woodwind instrument your cheeks and neck had air in them. Maybe not as much as Dizzy, but it is unavoidable. When you force huge amounts of air from the diaphragm into that little mouthpiece there is a delay as the pressure is maintained. The air pressure has to be held somewhere, or else the sound will die out. The more air the more impressive the sound.
