Gillespie was born one of the younger of ten children and was supported and encouraged in his musical development by his father, a construction worker and local amateur bandleader. He played the piano at age four, then self-taught on the slide trombone, and before he was twelve, he switched to the trumpet. He received a scholarship to Laurinburg Institute in North Carolina, but soon left school to become a full-time musician.In his younger years, Gillespie played in numerous swing big bands: in 1935 he was hired in Philadelphia by Frank Fairfax, whom he left shortly thereafter. He toured Europe with Teddy Hill’s band. Gillespie was an itinerant musician, and from 1939 to 1941 played with Cab Calloway – who called his adventurous solos “Chinese music” – with Chu Berry and Cozy Cole, among others, until he was kicked out of the band in a dispute with Calloway. In 1942 he played in Earl Hines’ orchestra with Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine, while arranging pieces for Jimmy Dorsey and playing in Duke Ellington’s band. He also played an important role in the development of bebop in experimental jam sessions along with Thelonious Monk, Kenny Clarke, Charlie Parker and others at Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem beginning in 1941. Eckstine’s newly formed band, largely out of the Hines band, became the first band to play this new style with Parker, Gillespie and Vaughan beginning in 1944. In 1944 he played bebop in Oscar Pettiford’s quintet at the Onyx Club and also records with the quintet that same year with Coleman Hawkins. In 1944 to 1945 he had his first combo with Parker in the Three Deuces and Spotlite.
