For your weekend viewing pleasure, 35+ minutes of Dizzy Gillespie, one of the greatest trumpeters in history and a founder of modern jazz. He sounds great (and displays a fine sense of humor) in this appearance on the BBC television show Jazz 625 from August 1966. Enjoy, knowing he'll be "eternally grateful for your boundless enthusiasm".
