Louie Bellson, Jazz Drummer Gone At 84Yrs
Italian-American Jazz drummer, Louie Bellson (actual name: Luigi Paulino Alfredo Francesco Antonio Balassoni), once married to Pearl Bailey, passed away on Saturday February 14th, 2009 at the age of 84 years.
At age 15, Bellson pioneered the double-bass drum set-up. Winner of the Slingerland Gene Krupa talent contest at age 17, he won out over 40,000 contestants in that drum competition. Bellson was with the big bands of Benny Goodman (1943 and 1946), Tommy Dorsey (1947-49) and Harry James (1950-51) before replacing Sonny Greer with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. A talented writer, Bellson contributed "Skin Deep" and "The Hawk Talks" to Duke's permanent repertoire. He married Pearl Bailey in 1952 and the following year left Ellington to be her musical director. Bellson toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic (1954-55), recorded many dates in the 1950s for Verve and was with the Dorsey Brothers (1955-56), Count Basie (1962), Duke Ellington (1965-66) and Harry James (1966). He has been continually active up to his death, leading big bands (different ones on the East and West Coasts), putting together combos for record dates, giving clinics for younger drummers and writing new music. Bellson has recorded extensively for Roulette (early '60s), Concord, Pablo and most recently Music Masters. Bellson led his own orchestra almost steadily for more than forty years. His last band was called the Big Band Explosion.

Mangione Jazzmen Niewood & Mellet Die In Crash
Gerry Niewood
Coleman Mellet
Chuck Mangione
On February 13th, 2009 the lives of Mangione jazz musicians Gerry Niewood, 64, of Rochester, N.Y., and Coleman Mellett of Maryland were taken in a plane crash. Niewood played saxophone and flute and Mellett was a guitarist. In a statement, flugelhorn jazz great Chuck Mangione said: “I’m in shock over the horrible, heartbreaking tragedy of the crash of Flight 3407, which took the lives of my dear friends and band members. I am grieving and praying with their families and friends.” Mangione and his band were scheduled to perform Friday with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall. The concert has been postponed. All 49 people on board and one person on the ground were killed in the crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 from Newark, N.J. The cause of the disaster was under investigation. It has been conjectured that the plane was on auto-pilot at the time, a possible abuse of FAA policy. (source:AP)

David "Fathead" Newman Passes At Age 75
David "Fathead" Newman (born February 24, 1933), jazz musician tenor sax soloist who played with the Ray Charles Band for about 12 years (beginning in 1954) has passed away at age 75. He started out with Ray Charles as his baritone sax player and eventually was featured as the star tenorist with the band. Newman played and recorded with a wide range of jazz and soul luminaries. In addition he had a successful solo career. He was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1990 for his work with Art Blakey and Dr. John. His wife, Manager Karen Newman, says the jazz musician died Tuesday January 20th of pancreatic cancer in a Kingston, New York hospital. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform many times and actually got a chance to meet him after a Ray Charles Tribute Show that he did in Chicago a couple of years ago with several other former members of the various Ray Charles Bands. According to music history lore, David got the nickname of "Fathead" in high school music class. His music teacher, Mr. Miller supposedly saw David's sheet music upside down on the stand, and knowing that Newman couldn't read music very well at the time, walked over and tapped him on his head with the conductor's baton and called him "Fathead." The entire classroom laughed, and Newman, having good humor, did not find it derogatory. The nickname stuck. You can sign the Legacy.com memorial book by clicking here.
