Dizzy Gillespie was an American jazz trumpet player, bandleader, singer, and composer. He is known as "the sound of surprise" and was a key figure in the development of bebop (bop), which laid the foundation for modern jazz. Gillespie taught and influenced many other musicians, including renowned trumpeters such as Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis.

In addition to his contributions to bebop, Gillespie was one of the pioneers of Afro-Cuban (or Latin) jazz. He incorporated complex poly-rhythms into his music and added conga drums to his orchestra in 1947. His innovative approach to blending different musical styles has had a lasting impact on the genre.

Gillespie's career was filled with numerous accolades and achievements. He received awards from prestigious institutions such as Esquire Magazine, the City of New York, Rutgers University Institute of Jazz Studies, and the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences. He also performed at notable events like the first integrated concert in a public school in Cheraw, SC; a White House Jazz Concert with President Carter; and received honorary degrees from various universities.

BMG Rights Management is a multinational label that was established as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. It operates under the name BMG Chrysalis in the USA, UK, and Sweden, following its acquisition of Chrysalis plc. In 2012, Bertelsmann bought out Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.'s share of the company after an unsuccessful attempt to acquire EMI's recorded-music assets. While BMG Rights Management is the successor of the original Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), it has undergone significant changes and now operates independently with no connection to its former incarnation.

When Afro-Cuban drummer Chano Pozo met jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in New York City, it was a meeting of two legends with musically explosive results. At the time, bebop was still new and revolutionary, but Chano’s fiery drumming served as a catalyst that furthered its dynamism. It was a short-lived partnership between the two, though, with only a few records produced before Chano Pozo died in a hailstorm of bullets—a drug deal gone bad.
