*sigh* Rest in Peace to yet another icon and legend in the jazz and big band drumming world, Louie Bellson. In November last year, Bellson was hospitalized after breaking his hip during a fall. In January, he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility, where he was undergoing a regimen of physical therapy. His passing on the weekend was unexpected. :cry:
 
my grandpa turned me on to him - he played with all the greats back in the day. what an awesome career to have played with all those swing heroes. a pioneer in double bass drumming - which tracks are these any one know?
