Title

This has been said before, by me and many others, yet it needs to be reiterated: any Louie Bellson orchestra, simply on the strength of its leader's personality and popularity, starts with a built-in advantage. Along with the enthusiasm I mentioned earlier, Louie conveys a sense of humility and a lack of ego that have proved endearing to everyone who has been fortunate enough to work with him. To paraphrase an old remark made by Will Rogers: I never heard a Bellson album I didn't like. And Bellson heading for the 1990s displays the same contagious verve that marked his work in those great Ellington days when he was the hottest young drummer on the scene.
