Biography

Showing the Discogs bio

American jazz drummer
Born January 2, 1915 in Milbury, Massachusetts, died September 26, 2000 in Los Angeles, California
In 1943, he moved to Los Angeles and took work as a session musician, recording profusely. A big band and dixieland drummer, he estimated once that he had played on between 200-300 albums (and that was in 1987, years before he was done recording). He worked with the orchestras of Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Les Brown and Harry James. Also recorded with Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Bob Crosby and Tommy Dorsey and worked on and off in Hollywood.
