The UCSC Jazz Ensembles salute jazz great Dizzy Gillespie (1917-93) in a joint concert with the Big Band. A legendary jazz trumpeter, composer, and arranger, Gillespie was one of most important musicians in jazz’s merger with Latin music. Along with Charlie Parker he created a new language for jazz called Be Bop and connected jazz to other forms of Afro-European music, effectively pioneering World music.
