Description

From the writer of FRIDA comes a jangly, jumpy, beboping book about Dizzy Gillespie, the clown prince of jazz.

This is the tale of Dizzy Gillespie, an actual cool cat who will have to have been born with a horn in his hands, judging from the best way he played the trumpet. Jazz was once his ticket on a train to higher days, and he left his hard life in a small town for New York City and the freshest band around. But did Dizzy stand straight and play right? NO! He was once a clown. He hit high notes, low notes, never-been-heard notes, and before he knew it, Dizzy created an entire new music: BEBOP.

This is a story about a boy who breaks the entire rules — and finds his own personal heaven along the best way.
