wow, that´s great new in such sad times with so many greats gone. 

I love him. His Percussion work is such Incredible. I think the first great solo of him I heard on "Summit Meeting at Birdland" with Bird, where he Plays a Long solo on "Broadway". And the tracks Bird, Bud, Mingus, Art Taylor, Candido from Mai 1953 on ESP Disk. 

And I saw the Video of Dizzy´s Dreamband from 1982 with Candido. He still looked the same, he seems to be Young forever.

Happy Birthday, and my best wishes! May you reach 100!

I used some of his solos for my students to memorize, because they were so clearly structured and executed, and his rolls impeccable.

That´s a very good description of his solos. I don´t have students, but now I know WHY I love his work so much. It seems that he was very much in Action at Birdland in the early 50´s. The Billy Taylor trio is also a Formation that worked at Birdland.
