1997 Dizzy Gillespie In Concert New Orleans Jazz T

Dizzy Gillespie was a pioneering jazz trumpeter and bandleader, known for his virtuosic playing and for co-founding the bebop movement. Some of his notable works include "A Night in Tunisia" and "Manteca," and he collaborated with jazz legends like Charlie Parker. Gillespie also led influential big bands that featured rising stars like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. Although he wasn't from New Orleans, his contributions to jazz embody the innovative spirit that defines the city's music scene, making jazz an enduring symbol of New Orleans' rich cultural heritage. This tee is among a few in a series of jazz portrait tees, with others featuring artists such as Billie Holiday and John Coltrane. A great piece for any jazz fan! Fits like a slightly boxy modern XL.
