MUSIC REVIEW; Honoring Dizzy Gillespie With a Mix of Many Styles
Twenty years ago the pianist Danilo Perez was a precocious member of Dizzy Gillespie's United Nations Orchestra, a clutch of musicians from the Americas and the Caribbean.

John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (21. oktober 1917 i Cheraw, South Carolina - 6. januar 1993 i Englewood, New Jersey) var en af de allerstørste jazztrompetister og sammen med Charlie Parker en af bebopmusikkens største stjerner. Udover trompetist var han også komponist, sanger og orkesterleder.
Hans fremtoning var særdeles markant. Trompeten med en kæk bøjning så klangstykket vendte skråt opad flankeret af Dizzys basunkinder gjorde ham let genkendelig.
Gillespie var også en af grundlæggerne af latin jazz. Han glimrede bl.a. ved at skrive sin musikalske nyskabelser ned og dele dem gavmildt ud blandt andre jazzmusikere. Derved bidrog især han at at gøre bebop til den moderne jazz' fundament.
