6. Jazz musician

Died in 1993.



Played the same instrument as my last avatar, which is kind of odd, now that I think of it, since I'm a saxophonist. Strike that - WAS a saxophonist.


His bio was called: To Be Or Not To Bop

7. Dizzy Gillespie

One of the greatest musicians to ever live.

13. We all do....

I always thought he didn't get enough credit for his time. Charlie Parker got more attention in the be-bop area, and then when Diz did the latin-jazz thing, everyone was too far into Miles' "West Coast Sound".

14. I had a long conversation with Ray Brown about that once

He had the same opinion. Diz broke a lot of ground and never got credit for it.

Plus - he was such a funny guy. I was a jazz geek at a young age, and got to spend a little time with him when I was 16. He was a non-stop crack-up.

If I ever get them uploaded, I'll post some of the pics I took of him.

16. Ray Brown

is no slouch either.

My mom was a die-hard Beatles and Motown fan. My dad only listened to jazz. I truly got teh best of both worlds. Probably why I'm a music major now.

11. Webster blowing a bubble?

Arnold Jackson blowing a bubble?

Please let it not be Michael Jackson, circa 1987, blowing a bubble!
