A Night In Tunisia
Dizzy Gillespie Lyrics

@themusicman2005

man aside from his cheeks becoming hot air baloons, his neck even swells up. how in the hell did he play like that!

@Pedun42

Herniated his cheeks and neck with improper form.

@troutdaddy3600

@@Pedun42 Nothing is "improper". If you find something that works for you to where you can play pretty like dizzy it works. I puff my lips and it works perfectly fine.

@Pedun42

@@troutdaddy3600 I would say you can play at a high level with any sort of embouchure but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't use what's taught as proper form.

@Pedun42

@Conrad Nickelson except the way he played literally negatively affected his health. Severely herniated cheeks and neck.

@Pedun42

@Conrad Nickelson and I never mentioned high school level, but high level, so I think you might have misinterpreted what I said a bit.

@cjsmith281

When people can have the range and speed he had then pass judgement Thank you

I conducted a performance of this with Dizzy and his small combo and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham. Fall ‘87. It was a straighter version. He told the story of how the last time he played in Birmingham he had to come in through the kitchen. Kinda killed the vibe but great show.

@jardinbleu7

First time i see a trumpet like that ! Dizzy plays wonderfully, but I'm even more impressed by his creativity!

@imbees2

Dizzy is the supreme horn of all time!

@jazzjazz

I love this video and watch it a lot. I often get completely absorbed by the electric bass playing.

@Adamsuziesundaefan8700kFaz-k7n

His iconic big cheeks combine with pristine trumpet playing made him one of the most famous trumpet players in history

@CharlieBitMyNose

Dizzy's family lives in his cheeks

@SzymonSzanczuk

Nice Sonny Rollins quote from the bass player. Love it.

@tonyg2859

Wow. Great musicians all the way around him too, that drummer is sharp, makes it easy like it's supposed to be.

@renelongoria701

Love the scene in movie for love or country when this song is featured ❤🎉

@ramonareise7018

Ich liebe diese Komposition auch in dieser Ausführung.

@NikosAggXggAsokiN

Never seen a trumpet like this before :O but he is just an amazing musician no doubt ❤

@Oopyirdy

These trumpets only exist because of dizzy. I don’t remember exactly what happened but some kind of accident happened that made his trumpet look like that, and he liked how it looked like that so he had the rest of his trumpets made that way. Trumpets like these are used in marching band now sometimes

@NikosAggXggAsokiN

@@Oopyirdy if that's true it's cool 😎😎

@Hatsune_multilover

Escolhas de instrumentos certos, Boixo fender jazz, Guitarra Gibson, batería dw, e trompeta 🎺 Perfecto.

@patrickscutella836

I met him in Erie, Pennsylvania around 1978.

@Supreme2u

This dude is a DOPE jazz legend and was one ☝️ of the best!

@raymondcarnevali6416

I met Dizzy once at a show in Pittsburgh. Great show and very nice man he came over and talked with us and others it was a smaller place with tables. Walt Harpers place. My question is who is the guitar player he is amazing as good or better than George Benson.

@CaliWilderness

Damn... this is synergy at its finest.. the drums.. the bass.. an dizzie doin' his thing !

@martijn7416

Fanfastic ❤

@Dontspeakboutme

Damn...that was fresh..

@rlevitta

Every 4 years you used to see signs and graffiti "Dizzy for President." I still say it...

@mimi5769

Lmao i started playing the trumpet a month ago and i still play like dizzy, which works for him, but i always run out of breath ahah, im trying to fix my technique

@samwallaceart288

The puffiness of his cheeks only makes this more impressive — exactly how much more air do his lungs have to pump to make the same sound as normal?

@charlita25

Beautiful sounds

@mkaali

Incredibly laid back

@fleadoggreen9062

I gotta get out more
I can still see my high school if I stand on my roof
Let alone spend a night in Tunisa geez 😂

Yes indeed

@venanciotochella6181

Un genio de la trompeta, pero solo de verlo me duelen los cachetes.

@dj_laylow

His cheeks will blow up, but he is amazing 🤩

@ernestoc.2304

entusiasmante!!

@myliebiii

Who now xD

@_Emby

Imagine being a famous trumpet player and no one ever telling you played incorrectly. Sounds awesome but horrible to watch. Almost sad. And you can tell he can’t breath that well, he takes huge breaths in and then just play a string of notes on that one breath. Darn sad I tell u. I’m glad he never died!!

@andrzejsobieniak8167

Why is Dizzy’s trumpet bent?

@Irishmansaysyes

I’m pretty sure it’s to bring the sound out but I’m not 100% sure

where was this performed?

@artnieckarz

Purdie shuffle all the way

@spacemanpope1805

Does he even embouchure?

@TraumaER

Why does his cheeks get so big? 😳

@headcheese3

It's a thing he did. It's just for show really. He said he could play normally, but Gillespie was always a showman and knew that it attracted attention.

@JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs

Seriously though, it's a puffer fish!

@Not_So_Slim_Shady

I love it because it's improper form. You're supposed to keep you checks compact for control. But he was still amazing.

@oscarpan8759

@@headcheese3 that is completely wrong.he was self taught so he picked up many bad habits one of them was to puff his cheeks out when he plays and after years of playing like that, that is the result also the reason his bell is bent up is because he plays looking downwards which is wrong so he bent it upwards to make the sound go across the rooms

@matthewmccalla1138

Oscar Pan13 wrong he had a muscle condition I forgot what it was called he can’t control his face muscles
