Ed Shaughnessy dedicates to Bellson

Ed S. sent Mrs. B the link to this article on his performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival: "Shaughnessy, long recognized as a sterling big band drummer (especially with Doc Severinson’s band on The Tonight Show) … (performed) with a dynamic and seasoned quintet … Playing a large, double bass drum kit, Shaughnessy dedicated his set to the man who pioneered the set up, the great and recently deceased Louis Bellson. Launching into a refreshingly original version of Billy Strayhorn’s “Take the ‘A’ Train,” … Shaughnessy’s enthusiasm for the music and his affection for lost comrade Bellson made his set a touching celebration of the music’s immortality."
