The Legend Series
Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Red Rodney... These are names synonymous with the great Jazz Age. The Legends Series features all these wonderful artists and others doing simply what they loved and lived for, playing jazz.
Dizzy Gillespie- Born John Birks Gillespie, 21st October 1917, Cheran, South Carolina, USA. Died 6th January 1993. Acquired his nickname in the 30's as a result of his jestful behavior on and off stage. In the history of the development of Jazz trumpet Gillespie's place ranked second only to that of Louis Armstrong. IN the history of Jazz as a whole he was firmly in the small group of major innovators who reshaped the music in a manner so profound that everything that follows hast to be measured by reference, conscious or not, to their achievements.
Band Personnel: Sam Rivers- Bass, John Lee- Electric Guitar, Ignacio Berroa- Drums.
Dexter Gordon- Born 27th February 1923, Los Angeles, USA. Died 1990. One of the outstanding tenor saxophonists of Jazz despite at times addictions to both drugs and alcohol. Gordon was as popular in Europe as the US and his music always displayed his awareness of the swing era cadences whilst his renowned ballads were enhanced through his own unique combination of experience and inspiration optimized in the Academy Award nominated film Round Midnight starring Gordon in the lead role as an alcoholic saxophonist.

As a drummer Blake will never be forgotten, but as a catalyst for hundreds of past messengers he will be forever praised.

Stan Getz- Born 2nd October 1927, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Died 6th June 1991.
