Jazz Legends

15 July 2005

A profile of an unsung hero of the Bebop revolution. Stan Levey was one of the very few white drummers involved in the formative years of bebop and accepted as one of bop's most important drummers.

He played with almost everyone in the emerging Bop scene, and subsequently a long list of jazz luminaries of the 40s, 50s and 60s. Alyn Shipton's interview is a revealing look into the life of a great drummer who died in April this year.
