Stan Levey, one of the great drummers of the bebop era, gets together with Richie Kamuca on tenor sax, Conte Condoli on trumpet, Lou Levy on piano, and Monty Budwig on bass for a performance of “Ole Man Rebop” (1957).
Bonus video! Fred Astaire, captured at home, indulging himself in his hobby.
Fred Astaire had rhythm in the blood.
ReplyDeleteNever knew he played drums.
He's really enjoying himself; like a big kid.
From Wiki:
"He took up skateboarding in his late seventies and was awarded a life membership in the National Skateboard Society."
I used to set up the drums beside the record player to practice like that.
Skateboarding? Well, I bet he was pretty good at it.
