umbertino Posted October 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Saw Dizzy in concert in 1978 in Bologna ( my university town) and then in 1990 I literally stumbled into him at Milan Linate airport and we talked for a little while....I was so honored of course.....He was touring Europe I recall helping him go through customs and I told the airport cops "Please treat him extra kindly and courteously....He's a worldwide known Musician!"
