Shelly Manne
Born:
Shelly Manne - drums (1920 - 1984)
As a jazz drummer, studio musician, bandleader and businessman, Shelly Manne was one of the mostprolific instrumentalists of modern times. “I’ve really had the best of both worlds,” he said in 1983. “I’vekept busy playing jazz, and between engagements I’ve had the studios to fall back on.”
The New York City-born musician was the son of Max Manne, a percussionist who pioneered thesynchronization of sound with motion pictures and cartoons, and nephew of Morris Manne, who didsound effects for Popeye cartoons. Shelly was introduced to jazz as a youth and was greatly influencedby Jo Jones and Dave Tough. During the early 1940s, he subbed for Tough, who suffered fromalcoholism and epilepsy, in both the Benny Goodman and Joe Marsala bands. In the ’50s, Manne playedthe role of Tough in two motion pictures: The Five Pennies and The Gene Krupa Story.
