Louie Bellson: Peaceful Thunder

Louie Bellson: Peaceful Thunder

Taken together, three of the titles of his compositions in this impressive collection sound almost like a summation of Louie Bellson's percussive talent: here is a man who can create gentle brush strokes, then soar like an eagle, and erupt in peaceful thunder. --Leonard Feather

Good combo date from a veteran drummer with substantial swing and big band credentials. Bellson's recent records adhere to established musical values, yet seem to have a freshness that escapes some of the recent traditional dates. Marvin Stamm and Derek Smith are examples of critically unheralded players who seldom fail to elevate a session.
