Described by Duke Ellington as “not only the world’s greatest drummer...(but also) the world’s greatest musician,” Louie Bellson had expressed himself on drums since age three. At 15, he pioneered the double bass drum set-up. At 17, he triumphed over 40,000 drummers to win the Gene Krupa drumming contest.

He performed on more than 200 albums with such… Read more in Amazon's Louie Bellson Store

5.0 out of 5 stars the art of the chart is aptly named, July 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of The Chart (Audio CD)
Big Band music covers several decades with bands like The Glenn Miller Band being representative of when Jazz Big Band was King. The Art of the Chart might more appropriately be called Modern Big Band music, but whatever it might be called, it is a top notch example of some excellent arrangements by arrangers such as Thad Jones, Bill Holman & Bob Florence, played by a talented group of musicians such as Conte Condoli and Carl Saunders with the inimitable drumming of Louie Bellson driving the band. As Bob Florence states in the liner notes, "This CD is dedicated to the composer/arranger....The band assembled here...can play anything I imagine and it is a joy to write for them." It comes through loud and clear. This recording is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Band Arrangers Strut Their Stuff, January 8, 2011
By 
jazz lover since 1960 (Tampa, Fl. and Franklin, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of The Chart (Audio CD)
If you love big band jazz and/or Louis Bellson, get this CD.
This recording features arrangements by the best in the big band business: Thad Jones, Bill Holman, Ernie Wilkins, Bob Florence, Tommy Newsom. It earns it's CD title "Art of the Chart" well.
The dear departed Louis Bellson's great 1997 band features the best musicians: Conte Condoli, trumpet; George Bohanon, trombone; Pete Christlieb,tenor; Jack Nimitiz, sax; Chuck Berghofer, bass; and on and on.
And the CD is offered at bargain basement prices, the last I looked. What's not to like.
