Dizzy Gillespie and Frank Paparelli are credited as co-writers of the 1944 bebop standard "Blue 'n' Boogie," though Paparelli's credit was reportedly compensation for transcription work rather than compositional input. Paparelli served as pianist in Gillespie's band during the mid-1940s. The composition has been recorded by Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, and Sonny Rollins, becoming a bebop repertoire staple.
