John Birks 'Dizzy' Gillespie (October 21, 1917 – January 6, 1993) was an influential American jazz trumpet player, composer, and vocalist. He was known for his virtuosity, improvisational skill, and for building on the techniques of Roy Eldridge while introducing harmonic complexity and rhythmic innovation. Gillespie was a leading figure in the bebop movement alongside Charlie Parker during the 1940s, and his distinctive beret, puffed cheeks, and lively personality made him a prominent symbol of bebop. He influenced many notable musicians, including Miles Davis and Arturo Sandoval.
