Biography

1919年10月11日 Pennsylvania 州 Pittsburgh 生れ。当初はピアノを演奏するが、 ギャングに脅されドラマーに転向。Fretcher Henderson 楽団を経て44〜47年、 Billy Extein 楽団に在団、ビ・バップの洗礼を受ける。54年には Birdland に おいて Cliford Brown を含む歴史的クインテットを結成。Jazz Messengers の 前身となったこのグループは funky の萌芽ともいうべきプレイを聴かせた。翌 55年、正式に Jazz Messengers を発足させる。以来メンバーの移動は激しいが、 有能な若手を起用、モダン・ジャズの老舗的コンボのリーダーとしても手腕を発 揮する。派手なロールと強烈なシンバル・ワークでエキサイティングなリズムを 叩き出すハード・バップ・ドラマーの代表的存在。
