"It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play."
Dizzy Gillespie
Another fine proponent of simplicity. Less is more. And you hear it more and more. This not only applies to music and art but every day life. When the superfluous can be eliminated, there is then more room mentally, physically, and ultimately spiritually.
Dizzy Gillespie (1917-1993) was an American trumpet player, bandleader, and composer. Along with Charlie Parker, he helped usher in the bebop sound of the 1940's. Still considered one of the best players to ever pick up the trumpet, Gillespie taught and influenced a number of jazz greats including Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Fats Navarro, and Lee Morgan.
