Google Doodle today has a new look on a wonderful jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie. The Google logo comes out of the trumpet of Dizzy Gillespie who has a birthday today. The google logo changed at midnight and will be seen to everyone who searchas all day on October 21.
According to the Wikipedia, the sounds of Gillespie were special. Dizzy Gillespie has been described as the "Sound of Surprise". “The whole essence of a Gillespie solo was cliff-hanging suspense: the phrases and the angle of the approach were perpetually varied, breakneck runs were followed by pauses, by huge interval leaps, by long, immensely high notes, by slurs and smears and bluesy phrases; he always took listeners by surprise, always shocking them with a new thought. His lightening reflexes and superb ear meant his instrumental execution matched his thoughts in its power and speed. And he was concerned at all times with swing — even taking the most daring liberties with pulse or beat, his phrases never failed to swing. Gillespies’s magnificent sense of time and emotional intensity of his playing came from childhood roots. His parents were Methodists, but as a boy he used to sneak off every Sunday to the uninhibited Sanctified Church. He said later, ‘The Sanctified Church had deep significance for me musically. I first learned the significance of rhythm there and all about how music can transport people spiritually.
Today everyone gets the chance to honor Dizzy Gillespie. All they need to do is search on Google. Happy Birthday Gillespie.
