Dizzy Gillespie for President is a night of live music for jazz that is ahead of its time. In 1964, as a bit of an F you to the establishment, John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie ran as a write-in candidate for the 1962 presidential election.
He promised that if he were elected, the White House would be renamed the Blues House, and he would have a cabinet composed of Duke Ellington Secretary of State, Miles Davis Director of the CIA, Max Roach Secretary of Defense, Charles Mingus Secretary of Peace, Ray Charles Librarian of Congress, Louis Armstrong Secretary of Agriculture, Mary Lou Williams Ambassador to the Vatican, Thelonious Monk Travelling Ambassador and Malcolm X Attorney General.
When asked why he was running for the presidency, Gillespie replied "Because we need one", this became the slogan for his campaign
