Dizzy Gillespie. Festival du Jazz, Cannes 1958.

Dizzy Gillespie is captured in an intense profile close-up during his performance at the Festival du Jazz in Cannes, 1958. With cheeks puffed and wearing thick, dark-rimmed glasses, he plays his gleaming trumpet, which is fitted with a distinctive “hat” or “derby” mute. Dressed in a pinstriped suit, he is isolated against a stark black background, the stage lighting focused entirely on his face and instrument.
