Interesting jazz nicknames: The general population knew Louis
Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie as Satchmo (short for "satchel mouth")
and Dizzy, respectively.
But musicians (out of respect) call them Pops (father jazz) and Birks
(Gillespie's given name was John Birks Gillespie).
What Jazz musician is known as "Newk"?
Enjoy!
Mike
