My favourite photograph: Bebop, Bird and Diz.




This photograph shows us a revolution, or rather, revolutionaries. The bebop jazz in the '40s revolutionized jazz in particular and music in general.Do not know who took this picture, but here are two great: Charlie Parker, intrepid saxophonist and Dizzy Gillespie, trumpeter and composer. This photo shows us a revolution, jazz was at an impasse in their 40s, big bands had achieved much, but now they were already causing limitations.The new generation of jazz in the 40s, led by "Bird" and "Dizzy" created new "formations", smaller than the big bands, how (trios, quintets, quartets, sextets) and therefore more versatile. This picture also shows us a friendship, a union beyond music. Must be remembered that Charlie was a drug addict and Gillespie was always attentive to your friend, by encouraging him for to leave them, or at least. Charlie also loved Dizzy and it considered the greatest modern trumpet player. This photographe shows us as Charlie watches and listens to Dizzy, as they shared their musical revolution, his friendship, his passion. Regards!
