John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie
October 21, 1917 - January 6, 1993
It’s the birthday of jazz giant Dizzy Gillespie.  What better occasion to put on some bebop and look at a very cool picture of Dizzy blowing his horn at the White House.  June 8, 1979, Jazz Concert on the South Lawn with President Jimmy Carter.
