- Dizzy Gillespie, 72, can sleep anywhere -- even standing up.
- A good thing too, because the legendary king of bebop will log
- 300,000 miles this year hitting high notes in some 200 concerts
- from Monterey to Moscow. For his first major film role -- in
- the upcoming Winter in Lisbon -- the tireless trumpeter
- portrays an aging jazz musician who's disillusioned by life in
- the U.S. and moves to Europe. An outspoken critic of racism,
- Gillespie has "been tempted to leave several times." He stayed
- on because "my wife didn't want to move." How's that for making
- harmony?
