Dizzy Gillespie was one of the principal developers of bop in the early 1940s, and his styles of improvising and trumpet playing were imitated widely in the 1940s and 1950s. One of the most influential players in the history of jazz, he championed the rich rhythms of Afro-Cuban, Caribbean and Brazilian music that, to a large extent, still dominate jazz to this very day.
