The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser, building on the virtuosic style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz.
- His combination of musicianship, showmanship, and wit made him a leading popularizer of early bebop styles.
- His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, scat singing, bent horn, pouched cheeks, and light-hearted personality have made him an enduring icon.
