Alyn Shipton presents a six-part tribute to the trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. 2: Bird and Diz
Dizzy was touring with the Cab Calloway band when he met Charlie Parker in 1941 - the beginning of a relationship which led to the development of bebop. Earl Hines , Art Blakey , Milt Jackson and Dizzy himself recall the exciting musical innovations of the 40s.
