Transcript: Charlie studied clarinet and saxophoneas as a boy. He spent hours after hours listening to the local jazz musicans jamming together. Dizzy's real name was John Birks. He was born in South Carolina in 1917, Dizzy died in New Jersey in 1993. At the age of four Gillespie started to play the piano and shortly after that he started to teach himself how to play the trumpet and trombone. Dizzy had a great sense of humor. He was always laughing, pulling crazy pranks, and having fun. Some thing I thought was interesting about these two musicians is that they both togather made the bebop. Rock 'n' Roll Charlie was one of the most imitated jazz musicans. He was born in 1920 in Kansas city, Missouri. Charlie's nickname is Bird because of his huge appetite for chicken. A direct descendant of jazz, rock 'n' roll became popular in the 1950s. Many early rock 'n' roll songs are acually covers of old blues songs , performed with electric instruments and a stronger accenting of the off-beats Melody Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy was a master at making up new melodies with these scales no matter how fast the bebop tempo. All of the chords used in a song. Signature Songs Dizzy was really into jazz. He (and Charlie Parker also) created the bebop. The harmony was very complex and changed constantly, the chords required new and usaual sounding scales for improvisation. The different notes that make up a song ( what you wold sing). Dizzy's appearence was his musical style, talent and bravery. Harmony Charlie Parker Dizzy's Jazz Styles Bebop was a very innovative style of jazz that appeared in the 1940s. Fast and furious, it contains complex melodies and improvisatory sections. The radical, new sound of bebop was shocking, and quite controversial, to many people. About Charlie When Parker was only 15 years old he became a full time musican. Play the same old blues and jazz. TimeLine Gillespie cheeks About Dizzy Dizzy and his band were sent all over the world to play conserts. His greatest sense of humor was his composition " Salt Peanuts" When playing the trumpet Dizzy's cheeks expanded out like a blowfish. The older Dizzy got the more his cheeks puffed out. Bird createe many songs revolving around " pop". Most of the melodies sounded sounded more like bebop solos then traditional melodies. Bird moved to New York in 1940 where he met Dizzy. Togather, along with some other people, they created the bebop. Bebop Wow thats interesting!!
