How did Dizzy Gillespie become famous?

Answer 1

Well, it all started with slavery. The African slaves sang spirituals and secular music, which combined their native African music with American music. Shortly after all the slaves were emancipated and slavery was outlawed, the ex-slaves created the blues. The blues, dixieland music, and marching band music all kind of "hybridized," and jazz came about in the 1890s in New Orleans.

Answer 2

Dizzy got his start in music, in several various areas. The earliest possible answer to this question would be when he was three or younger and his father was rehearsing his band. The Gillespie family had a piano in the house for most of the time that Dizzy was a kid. Then his first public performance would be during Miss Wilson's Minstrel Show. His first personnal instrumnet would be the Trombone followed by the Cornet and then the Trumpet.

Answer 3

John Birks (Dizzy) Gillespie got his nickname through passing out when he played high notes.

The human blood pressure is 4 Kilo Pascals. Playing Double Top C required pressure in the lungs is 5 Kilo Pascals. Playing high notes for any extended period of time forces the blood out of the lungs causing temporary asphyxia and leads to dizziness or in extreme conditions unconsciousness.
