Jazz masters - Dizzy Gillespie

Original linocut print, inspired by the most influential Jazz musicians - here Dizzy Gillespie " Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser, adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz. His combination of musicianship, showmanship, and wit made him a leading popularizer of the new music called bebop. His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality provided some of bebop's most prominent symbols."
