About this topic
The studio albums of Dizzy Gillespie, the trumpeter who co-invented bebop and brought Afro-Cuban rhythm into jazz. Studio albums only, curated to the widely-recognised records across his 1952–1990 LP-era catalogue. Excluded: his live albums, the pre-LP 10-inch and 78rpm session collections issued under his name, compilations, box sets, and dates where he appears only as a sideman. Because his full studio catalogue runs past forty titles, this set is the canonical selection rather than the exhaustive discography. Name the albums, answer real trivia about the music and the career, match each cover to its title, sort a selection into release order, or pick his studio albums out of a grid of decoys. Sourced from Wikipedia's list of works and cross-checked against Wikidata.
