From time to time, the search engine Google replaces its standard logo with a creative "doodle" that transforms the design into a picture that commemorates a special event, such as a holiday or the Olympics. Recently, they had a
John Lennon doodle to celebrate his 70th birthday. Today, they feature Dizzy Gillespie, one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. He is known as a pioneer of both bebop and Afro-Cuban jazz, as well as his wit and humor on the band stand. His bent trumpet became his signature trademark, and the Warrior Marching Band played his tune "Manteca" this fall. So, a tip of the beret to Diz on what would have been his 93rd birthday!
