Shelly Manne - On Contemporary: Shelly Manne '2021

Tracks list

       On Contemporary: Shelly Manne:
One of the most prolifically recorded drummers in jazz history, the versatile
Shelly Manne (June 11, 1920 – September 26, 1984) was another pillar of
the Contemporary fold who elevated every project he worked on. Aside from the
first track, a graceful date led by André Previn, this compilation focuses on
Manne’s extensive catalog as a leader and co-leader. With equal parts
force and finesse, he powered some of the era’s most exciting hard bop
sessions, though his bands tend to be overlooked today because his players
didn’t go on to wider fame, à la Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers.
But Manne’s muscular trap work made his L.A.-based bands consistently
compelling, particularly when they stretched out in a nightclub. Almost a third
of the compilation covers Shelly Manne & His Men at San Francisco’s
flagship jazzspot The Black Hawk on a particularly torrid 1959 run, though the
concluding track comes from a live 1961 date in his own Hollywood room,
Shelly’s Manne-Hole.
