Shadowing Dizzy Gillespie: 100Th Birthday Anniversary (B&W Edition)

In celebration of the anniversay of Dizzy Gillespie?s 100th birthday, author David G. Brown (Deacon?s Crossbow) shares his intimate experiences and memoirs of this humanitarian, innovator, and magical musician. After a chance meeting in Alexandria, VA, in 1985, Brown had the opportunity to spend countless hours with Dizzy at performances, testimonials, hotels and restaurants, street corners, and all-night card-playing sessions. Mr. Brown said, ?Without question, the most remarkable man I have ever met. We shared tears and gut-busting laughs that are etched in my mind forever. God bless John Birks ?Dizzy? Gillespie, who, by the way, wasn?t dizzy at all. Trust me on that one.? Along with a book-load of anecdotes, there are select and unique photos spread throughout.
