    Did Dizzy Gillespie get his "bullfrog" cheeks from incorrect breath techniques or just a lifetime of playing?

    Question #120658. Asked by darkpresence. (Mar 11 11 12:55 PM)

    		One memorable trademark was that he distended his cheeks while playing. Some may believe this was due to poor technique, but this is not the case and is in fact a result of muscle tissue damage.1
