Dizzy, an American jazz trumpet player, bandleader, singer, and composer, was known as "the sound of surprise". He played a pivotal role in the development of bebop and influenced numerous musicians. Dizzy also contributed to Afro-Cuban jazz by incorporating complex poly-rhythms and adding conga to his orchestra. Throughout his career, he received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to music.

Career highlights include being awarded the New Star Award from Esquire Magazine in 1944 and performing at the first integrated concert in public school in Cheraw, SC in 1959. In 1972, Dizzy became the first jazz musician appointed by the US Department of State for a cultural mission. He received several prestigious awards such as the Handel Medallion from the City of New York and the Paul Robeson Award from Rutgers University Institute of Jazz Studies.

Notable performances include playing at the White House for President Carter and the Shah of Iran in 1977 and performing "Salt Peanuts" with President Carter at a White House Jazz Concert in 1978. Dizzy was also recognized with inductions into both the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame.

Katie Munshaw really needed to finish the fucking quilt, and find a way to sew herself into it. The lead singer of Ontario four-piece Dizzy has been thinking a lot about the way things look and the way you can find comfort in disappearing into it all. She describes the album, a bright indie-pop beast continuing the legacy built from two previous shimmering records, as a "patchwork quilt" with each song a square, or a sliver, of her life. "None of them have all that much to do with each other and yet they wouldn't exist without one another," she says. It makes for a colourful record that's intrinsically Dizzy - one that swerves comparison, instead reflecting the shapeshifting and imperfect nature of its musicians. Avoiding the spotlight yet more confidently themselves than ever. Munshaw is satisfied with where this record finds Dizzy. 

The band's first record, she says, was "formative" to what kind of musician she became, even though "I was young and had no business making a record. The Sun and Her Scorch was our rebellious teenage phase where we thought we could do it all ourselves, this new chapter is about throwing our hands up saying 'we don't have all the answers. I'm open to having somebody help me. Help us.'" Listeners will find that Dizzy have made what sounds like their most confident work to date; embracing the best parts of what has made fans fall in love with them in the past while confidently stepping into the future and trying new things; ready to show the world exactly who they are as artists - mask or no mask.
