With all due respect to Dizzzy, a GREAT guy (most importantly); a master of scales, chords and arpeggios, but I respectfully disagree that he "sounded" great. There are a number of players both pro and amature, past and present who have a far better tone. And there are a whole slew of classical players who will take issue with the way he sounded, if not publicly.
I have some of his stuff and I love listening to it. Sounds hypocritical, but after all, I'm American.
