Dizzy Gillespie - "Salt Peanuts" - 1947

The sort of "title" line kind of reminds me a little of "Let's Mop It" done by Willie "the Lion" Smith. I'm not saying this so ten people can debate this with me. Just think of it when I hear either song. cheers.

"Bird and Diz played together quite often in NYC" Until 1945, yes. For almost a decade Diz mostly distanced himself from Bird (I mean distanced himself literally physically -- he always highly praised his work).

"no one came close to having the aura of Bird in NYC and Chicago and KC"
for some people, who didn't number all that many people total, but had great taste.

"Where can I find the black charts?" _The Billboard Book Of Top 40 R&B And Hip-Hop Hits_.

Bird and Diz played together quite often in NYC and they were the ones that started bebop! You can't rely on records to tell the whole story, but Diz did play in Bird's bands quite often in the 40s and no one came close to having the aura of Bird in NYC and Chicago and KC, according to Mile's autobiography. If that is NOT "true," I'm sure we can agree that it is remotely close to true. Where can I find the black charts?

"Bird was the biggest thing there was in NYC in the 40s and early 50s." Not remotely close to true. Bird never even had a single reach the top ten on the "black" charts: Lester Young had three, Muddy Waters had fourteen, Dinah Washington had thirty-five. Diz was never in Bird's bands because he had decided he wouldn't be (and that Bird wouldn't be in his). Bird often worked with trumpeters other than Miles.

Uhh you probably shouldn't make general comments like that. Bird was the biggest thing there was in NYC in the 40s and early 50s; not so much with people that couldn't understand what he was doing. Diz was never in Bird's bands because Bird would hire Miles.

And he certainly does not look like Bird at all.

For sure it is not Cannonball. Cannonball came on the scene much later, he came to NYC in 1955. I don't know who it is, though.

LOL INTERNET
