I know I’ve posted this story before, but I can’t believe it’s been exactly 25 years since Dizzy left us...He was my musical idol ever since I was 12 years old & I had first met him in NY through Oscar Pettiford. Dizzy had style, soul, technique, & substance...He truly was everything I wanted to be as a musician, & I’m forever grateful to him for giving me one of my first big breaks…In 1956, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. told Dizzy that, “If you could put together a big band, I’ll have the State Dept. sponsor & send it abroad.” Well, Dizzy accepted & called me up saying, “Young catter, I want you to play trumpet, arrange, & be musical director for that band. Put it together for me.” He believed in me, despite my age (22 going on 23), so I put a band together (some of his cats & some of mine), & we took jazz to places in the world that had never heard it before….He truly taught me so much about how to handle responsibility & gave me the confidence to confront whatever I was presented with. There’s no possible way to fit everything I want to say in this post, but I do want to say...You’re an absolute irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind!!...Dizzy.
