Glad some of the other comments called out the interviewer for what he was -- a condescending, arrogant display. Imagine standing in front of one of the grand masters of American music and calling him "weak" and "a poor boy from Cheraw". Embarrassing!

Some of the people leaving comments criticizing the interviewer appear to me as being guilty of racial snobbery. The interviewer, who obviously is white, was very down to earth and genuinely curious. He asked good questions that many people who aren’t Dizzy experts would want to ask if given the opportunity. And both men obviously enjoyed each other’s company. I was lucky enough to see DG play a gig in 1989. But I have no patience with some of these “woke” elitists who think that they wrote the book on how to conduct an interview with jazz musicians.

Date of interview and name of interviewer?

I saw Diz and Sara Vaughn, Max Roach, and Buddy R. At Monterey Jazz! Dizzie was dressed so casual in African dress! He played Congas between trumpet solos.Diz introduced this well dressed man in a suit, from Jullards, plays rumpet! The young man was excellent, playin rapid fire notes, clean and slick. Dizzy watched him, as Diz played congas. Diz smiled at the youngster. Then, it was Dizzies turn. Weren't no triplets nor musical acrobatics. Diz took his time, held his horn then casually, pressed the horn to his lips and took his time with every note. So beautiful and soulful. I was blessed, as were all the audience, black and white. Yes sir. Mr. Gillespie, music is universal! Thank ya !!

What a lovely man and easily one of the best trumpet players to grace the planet. If only the interviewer could have realised that as well, sign of the times I suppose. Fly high with Bird Dizzy.

What’s wrong with the interviewer ? Lotsa hate on here , he sounds fine to me .

Awesome knowledge from the master. My Lawd

The interviewer attempting some bizarre affected accent which is not native to his speech is so unbelievably offensive. I met Mr. Gillespie when I was a teenager after a concert he performed in Massachusetts. There were 5 or 10 of us young folk there. He was incredibly warm and friendly to us, he spoke to us for about 30 minutes. Truly nice man.

DIZZY GAGA...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The slave master mind always creeps out of dick cavett’s brain.

what, I never knew that Dizzy is such a great guy, super funny humble sensitive intelligent tough. he got it ! I love him now!! Im listening all of his recordings different from now on, Im looking much forward to play some of his solos, to become a little little little bit like him or at least understand a way of his thinking.

Because of his dizzy personality, people often forget that he was a profoundly advanced musical genius, an innovative virtuoso, composer, and improviser of the very first rank !

What a human being, gone but not forgotten!!..

Diz was my teachers teacher - a musical genius on the level of Mozart. This is no exaggeration. I challenge anyone to scat sing what Diz did at the beginning of the interview :-)

4:05 is the best clip to understand what a musicians career is like

Gotta love a brotha who along with a few other supremely gifted and inventive brothas who burst onto the Jazz scene and created a style of Jazz that could not be so easily imitated or plagiarized by less talented white musicians.

still stands out in my memory as the best concert I ever saw..lifted us right up..

I saw him at the Blue Note. Before he left the stage, he pointed to the street door and announced, "ladies and gentleman, the heavyweight champion of the world!" By the time I looked back at the stage, he was gone :)

The cut this interview to pieces! smh!

Dizzy was the coolest

The interviewer had the nerves to call Dizzy “ a boy “ ? “You were a poor boy growing up “ so disrespectful

The interviewer is an asshole. Literally talking to a legendary genius like he is some unintelligent child. Very condescending. Smh

I love this guy. I miss him. A true genius of the art. Humble as you can get.

His vocabulary was great.

Such a happy soul Dizz is

Is it Dick Cavett who interviews?

Greatest Musician ever.

who is the interviewer? some say dick cavett some say no? let's find out who it was....

Yeah, I agree with previous comments. The interviewer is being eeeeever so slightly exploitative here. Not sure what the word for that is, but it's noticeable.

I love Dizzy he had a heck of a good sense of humor and Personality.

the questions the interviewer males, my god. asking about money and shit like that.... Diz did it because he loved the music... gaining stuff was not even in his wildest dreams... his life was to phrase like he did, and as he does because he will remain alive in his music, and though humanity doesn't listen to this quality of fine and elegant music anymore, there will always be a kid like me who will be blown away by the frog man, wailing at incredible tempos and connecting those movements with that bebop idiom:) i love you Diz, thank you for your energy....

He was on the faculty of the .lenox school of Jazz

Great to hear Diz

Check out this man's use vocabulary! If you omit the pauses and the jive, he is more articulate than most college grads and more honest and heartfelt than most celebrities.

I agree.

He has a funny way of saying things but you understand every point

I just LOVE Dizzie. I cried like a baby when I heard of his death. A truly great musician and a wonderful human being.

What modern musician is gonna say something's a misnomer? They prolly don't even know that word.

Reporter are stupid douches with a trained speech pattern to talk like they are your father. The dude doesn't know a french horn and he is interviewing and OLD DIZZY GILLESPIE, but still, he talks like an authority demanding explanations, so he can judge them.

What a guy. I wish i coud've met him

dizzy always high as fuck love this guy

2:40 is what you're here for. You're welcome.

🌹

“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks ..” Dizzy’s Heart was full of Splendor .... He’s so full of Love & Wonder ...He just keeps it so Real

Pop Diz .... Always himself .... Always his own man... Just free flowing ... So deep , in a light and humorous manner ... He just dropped nuggets of gold of information in just a relaxed manner .... Humorously & Graciously Blunt and straight forward & honest ....

Diz was such a natural . Gracious ❤️💥🙏🏽

Teach Master!!!!!!!

Long pause - master shit detector - wow! Important in any profession

Dizzy Gillespie was the 1st guy to bend it like that?

condescending irritating interviwer. whats with imitating his accent and calling him boy?
