When he turned 65 in July, his offstage modesty matched his flam boyance on stage. He chooses to praise other musi cians. But the most sincere form of flat tery in the music business is when musicians ask you to sit in with them. And Bellson is much in demand. When trumpeter Clark Terry put together “Clark Terry and Friends” for this year’s JVC Jazz Festival here, Bellson and pianist Oscar Peterson were the friends he chose for his fi nal set. Bellson’s wife since 1952, Pearl Bailey, was in the audience. In 1946, Bellson got the idea of using twin bass drums. His simulta neous manipulation of two bass drums at incredible speed is one of the most exciting and popular fea tures of his drumming — used both for spectacular effect and musical validity. But, characteristically, he’d rather talk about other drummers. “It’s an honor to be put in a class with Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich,” he said. “But I’m not the only one left. My teachers are living today. I learned to play listening to Max Roach and Art Blakey. “I listen to Max today. I smile. I ll pick out something I never heard before. He’s the first drummer to teach all of us to play melodically. Before him, drummers played rhythmically. “How can you not talk about Chick Webb, Big Sid Catlett, Jimmie Crawford with the Lunceford Band. People said, ‘You finally swung the Ellington Band.’ I’d say, ‘Listen to those records Sonny Greer did. There was so much magic there.” Louis Bellson, (pronounced Louie), was born in Rock Falls, Ill., one of four boys and four girls whose Italian father had a music store. Frank played clarinet. Tony and Henry still play drums. Ede tea ches music in Las Vegas. Paramount Studios. 1 went down next day. I heard Benny i ‘Where’s the kid?’ 1 started to siva Benny said, ‘Put makeup and a jacket on him.’ My audition was:/ ing in the movie. Benny said, li got the job. We leave Thursday. After Goodman, and Army sen] ice, Bellson was with Tommy Done from 1947 to ’49, had a sextet, played with Harry James spending 1951 to ’53 with DukeE| lington. “With Ellington,” Bellson sai; “you never knew exactly whatvoj were in for.” “When you joined Ellingtot there was no drum book,” Belk says. “He wanted to get the ultina from you.” Bellson’s latest album is “EastSii Suite,” a 53-minute piece compose ® Il< with Tommy Newsom, plus sixotk '■ tracks. Earlier this year, Musicmt ters Records also released “Hot.’ “I’ve got a big band in Los An geles and in New York,” Belk says. “Both are superb. Pearl rt quires a quartet when she perfori I’m part of that, and I still work will UI ' a quintet and do clinics at higl K1C schools and colleges.” i , Miss Bailey and Bellson haven’tlf tld their traveling, her Broadway in “Hello, Dolly!” or her Geom town University attendance—'! graduated in 1985 — keep thtr apart for months at a time. Most musicians say Bellson not shows anger, but he once got furioi with Benny Goodman. Goodman had asked if Bellsc hand would play the first half of pro lea grams in San Francisco and Phoenii “I was delighted.” ivst I But gradually during rehearsal: Goodman started to stare some of Bellson’s musicians and id them what to do. During a break, Bellson fou# Goodman sunning himself on tk he hood of Bellson’s brand new car,liijiei heels scratching the paint. Ted Fio Rito hired Bellson when he graduated from high school and asked if he knew a girl singer. Bel lson recommended a fellow cheerleader, June Haver. “I stayed with him three months, at the Florentine Gardens in Los An geles. The Mills Brothers were the main attraction. I learned so much from that great quartet. One night Freddy Goodman came in. He was managing his brother. He sent me a note to come to his table and said, ‘How would you like to audition for Benny Goodman?’ “Benny was doing a picture at “We went back and he startei picking on me and the rhythms« tion. I put the sticks down and said ‘I don’t know what you want. Gt: yourself another drummer.’ I was mad at Benny I wanted to kill him. Goodman apologized later 1 phone. / Iffi ail; oh let J.S Bellson tried movie music in tk 1960s for the likes of Henry cini, but found it unfulfilling. “1 hit to go out on the road and play. “If it were all to end tomorrow 1: still smile — Ellington, Basie, Good man, Dorsey, James — what moit can you ask for?” Adventures of Mack continue in new novel (AP) — How sweet it is to read a novel w’ithout getting mired down in the gratuitous sex and violence that mars so much fiction these days. Such a book is Jim Lehrer’s “Crown Oklahoma,” a very funny telling of the further adventures of the One-Eyed Mack, an exuberant character who first burst onto the fiction scene in “Kick the Can.” The earlier novel detailed the ad ventures of Mack and his best friend, Pepper, during the 1950s. After Pepper was killed fighting in the Korean War, Mack married his widow, Jackie, and took her two chil dren into the fold. The new couple went on to have two of their own. In “Crown Oklahoma,” Mack has become “the first one-eyed lieuten ant governor in Oklahoma history.” (He lost the eye in a childhood acci dent.) Mack, whose “all-time favorite meal (is) a tunafish-salad sandwich and a Grapette,” has been assigned by Gov. Buffalo Joe Hayman, a zany character among many such, to “watch the news on national tele vision for the good of the state.” Since the time is the 1970s, much of the news deals with Watergate. But one night on TV news, hears correspondent Archibalij Tyler say: “They call themselves the Ofc All of them either are from theStai of Oklahoma or have strong Okt homa connections.
