My Uncle Roland told me that my father loved Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzy, dad and I all have a great sense of humor. Remember Cab Calloway performing Kickin the Gong Around in 1931 (?). Later in the late 1930s the SF Chinatown club owned by Andy Wong had the Wongettes perform this piece. Back to Dizzy, Cab Calloway made a comment to Dizzy that his music sounds like Chinese music. On a serious note, in the film Paul Robeson: the Talllest Tree in Our Forest, Dizzy Gillespie makes a profound statement about Paul Robeson.
