Today is Dizzy Gillespie's 93rd birthday. He passed on January 6, 1993 but he was a legendary Jazz musician. His name was John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie.
Here is a picture of the Dizzy Gillespie Google logo:
Personally, I dislike Jazz music, but honestly, who cares what I like or dislike. This man is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time and deserves kudos for that.
The logo is, from what I can see, a global Doodle on all Google properties.

@ Patrick: A post doesn't need a question. It just needs a thought to run with.

That's not a thought to run with, it's a digression that is irrelevant. Tell us about the google logo, and about Dizzy Gillespie, period.

Before you say you don t like jazz you have to hear the music, not just play it . Duzzy was one of the greatest. Also Miles Davis, and Oscar Petterson. But your really have to hear the music.
