Louis Bellson ist einer der größten Jazz-Drummer, ebenso fähig eine Big Band mit enormer Präzision und Drive zu leiten, wie einfühlsam und fein im Trio zu spielen. Ob als Begleiter oder als Solist, Bellson stellt die Verkörperung der Perfektion dar. Diese CD stellt seinen glänzenden Zeitraum als Mitglied der Duke Ellington Band und seine ersten Aufnahmen als Bandleader zwischen 1951 und 1953 in den Vordergrund.
