Early and long lived jazz trumpeter who was lively, fun, and technically brilliant.

I can't believe no one has rated Dizzy yet... As a trumpet player myself, he has been one of my favorites, and his work is extremely underrated on this site. If you are just getting into jazz, listen to Charlie Parker and Dizzy play together
