Harlem Street Art Dizzy Mural
Legendary jazz great, John Burks "Dizzy" Gillespie, finds his way to Harlem one more time. In this case, in the form of a fifty foot mural on the side of a building in Central Harlem. Obscured by trees, and by its problematic placement on the side of building, the image may someday disappear if the lot beside the building is ever developed, thus covering it from view.
Fortunately, at this point, a leisurely stroll across West 135th street in Central Harlem may lead you to discover this striking image of an iconic personality. (Actually, there are two larger than life portraits here, with two small graffiti-like caricatures of Dizzy gracing the side of this building.)
Yet another hidden treasure of Harlem.
