"WHAT'S YOUR PART IN THE REVOLUTION?": Phil Moore's Journey with "A New Green Book"

We remember American Jazz Icon Dizzy Gillespie!
Dizzy Gillespie, born John Birks Gillespie, was a jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer known for his virtuosity and innovative style. He was one of the leading figures of the bebop movement, a style of jazz characterized by fast tempos, complex harmonies, and improvisation based on the structure of the music rather than its melody.
