Did you know that Thelonious, as in Thelonious Sphere Monk, is the Latinized version of the German name Tillman?
Also, the real name of Dizzy Gillespie is John Birks Gillespie; this is what the song title "Birk's Works" refers to.
While I'm on the subject, perhaps you've seen pictures of Dizzy Gillespie playing the trumpet and noticed his puffed-out cheeks. If you're wondering why they're so grotesquely huge, it's because Diz actually ruptured the epithelial lining in 'em while playing trumpet. Ouch.
