迪吉.葛拉斯彼 (Dizzy Gillespie) :199316

迪吉.葛拉斯彼是一只冷酷的猫,在纽约市里任意跳跃着。他最常沿着52街跳跃,所以这条街道也被称为「摇摆巷」 (Swing Lane) 与「比波普弄」 (Be-Bop Alley) 。葛拉斯彼和其他音乐家最喜欢在哈林区举办表演,他们在那里能够尽情展露自己的音乐才华。葛拉斯彼是一个善于表演的艺术家,同时他也四处巡回表演。大家最熟悉的,就是他在演奏时,那如月亮般圆鼓鼓的脸颊。


Dizzy was one cool cat who jammed all over New York City, particularly along 52nd Street, often called "Swing Lane," and "Be-Bop Alley." Gillespie and the other musicians liked to hold long jam sessions in Harlem where they could show off their musical talents. Gillespie was quite a showman and he toured all over. He was known for his bent trumpet and having "moon cheeks" when he played.
