This was not even Diz's regular rhythem section. the rest of his band was sent to Paris on the wring flight and the night before they went on they asked if anyone was available and look what they got. You probably couldn't put together a better band if you tried.

It's based off of Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet, he liked the way the bent horn sounded. check out Dizzy Man, he invented this style of playing.

The bent trumpet is Dizzy's signature trademark. It does have one advantage in that the microphone can be set at a height for singing, which Dizzy did, and for trumpet solos, the mic does not have to be adjusted downward as would be the case for a straight trumpet.

The horn ended up being developed due to an accident as either someone fell on it bending the horn bell up or diz dropped it. honestly don't know which one but diz had to play on it and thought that he could hear himself better, so he then had martin commitee design him a horn with the bent bell.

Jon played in ...( 4 months ago by Luxardo27)
Jon played in Victoria B.C. Canada about 20 years; he was the best trumpet player I have ever seen/heard in person. (Louis Armstrong played here in the 1960's but I guess it's not fair to compare, cuz Louis was pretty old.) Back to Jon: A guy in the audience was smoking, and Jon said he couldn't play if there was smoke. But the guy kept on smoking. So Jon stopped playing. Stand off. Jon won. But in the break, the young smoker brought his horn over to Jon, who gave him a lesson.

from Wikipedia: " ...( 2 months ago by rtel123)
from Wikipedia: "According to Gillespie's autobiography, this was originally the result of accidental damage caused during a job on January 6, 1953, but the constriction caused by the bending altered the tone of the instrument, and Gillespie liked the effect. By June, 1954, Gillespie was using a professionally manufactured horn of this design"
i honestly don't ...( 1 month ago by eastonboarder)
i honestly don't think that it was an accident, if it was bent by accident, the line would be bent so badly that air wouldn't be able to go through, resulting in horrible/no sound whatsoever
