  Shelly Manne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manne's father and uncles were drummers, and in his youth he especially admired swing drummers Jo Jones and especially Dave Tough.
Manne rose to stardom when he became part of the working bands of Woody Herman and, especially, Stan Kenton in the late 1940s and early 1950s, winning awards and developing a following at a time when jazz was still the most popular music in the United States.
Manne was often experimental, and had participated in such musically exploratory groups of the early 1950s as those of Jimmy Giuffre and Teddy Charles; yet he never neglected that element usually considered fundamental to all jazz: time.

Shelly Manne, who died suddenly of a heart attack on September 26, 1984, left behind an impressive body of recorded work as a leader and sideman.
Moreover, Manne thought and played in melodic as well as rhythmic terms, often adapting accompaniment to a composition’s melody, and singing along with his own solos.
Aside from the selfless nature of his musicianship, Manne’s playing is filled with unusual sounds—such as drumming with his fingers and hands, dropping a coin on a drumhead, damping drums with a hand in order to bend the pitch of strokes, or simply not playing at all.

Shelly Manne was one of the finest, swingingest, dynamic, intelligent drummers that I've ever heard.
Shelly begun getting noticed while playing on Fifty Second street, during that famous period in American Music when all the great jazz clubs were located on a block in the Apple between Fifth and Sixth Avenue.
During the Early Sixties, Shelly opened his own club in Hollywood California called "Shelly's Manne Hole." I was fortunate enough to live in the area at that time and was able to see him perform with what was one of the finest post bop groups to ever play in California.

 CD Review of Shelly Manne - Steps To The Desert on Contemporary Records @ jazzreview.com
In January 1963, Terry Gibbs cut "Terry Gibbs Plays Jewish Melodies in Jazz Time." A month earlier, Shelly Manne produced "My Son the Jazz Musician." The Manne LP, plus a few extra takes, makes up the current CD with its more serious title.
For this you can credit Manne, who has been described as playing music - not drums, and his selection of musicians.
Three arrangements were provided by Lennie Niehaus: a Mancini-flavored "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" that the Andrews Sisters might not recognize, and two Israeli songs - a triumphant "Bokrei Lachish" and the title track, which builds from a desert mood to impassioned swing.

Pianist Russ Freeman -- not to be confused with the guitarist/leader of the Rippingtons -- was better known as a sideman than a leader, but he was an important collaborator with both Chet Baker and Shelly Manne, leaving his mark on two of the most celebrated bodies of work in West Coast cool jazz.
The mellow-toned Williamson, best-known for his association with Shelly Manne (off and on during 1954-1958), was on a countless number of sessions up until 1968 when he dropped out of the music scene.

Enough has already been written in the last decade about the hi-fi culture of prosperous mid-century America to make this a rather short entry, but it is worth remarking that the duet setting is a rather intimate one on which to base a "sound spectacular".
