Modern Jazz Timeline Compiled by Dan Miller Notes on the Format: This timeline chronicles the activities of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Fats Navarro and Miles Davis during the mid to late Forties. It focuses on their recordings, tours, concerts and professional affiliations. I chose to start the timeline in 1944 with the February 16th and 22nd Coleman Hawkins "Disorder At The Border" sessions. These are often recognized as the first bebop recordings. 1944 February 16, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie February 22, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie April 13, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie May 19, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie May 24, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie December 5, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie Late December 1944 Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro December 31, 1944 Dizzy Gillespie 1945 January 1945 Fats Navarro February 1945 Fats Navarro (1) February 1945 Fats Navarro (2) Back to top © 2002 Dan Miller All materials and information (unless otherwise noted) property of Dan Miller
