When Bellson performed, you could hear the early swing that was predominant when he was coming up. You could also hear the more refined swing that he and his generation perfected in the heyday of the big bands. You heard the bop that flourished in the 1940s and ’50s. You heard modern rock and funk. But you didn't hear them isolated, one after another. Those influences were all present at the same time, and they gave Bellson’s playing a remarkable depth. Born July 6, 1924 in Rock Falls, Illinois as Luigi Paulino Alfredo Francesco Antonio Balassoni, Louie Bellson grew up in a musical atmosphere. His father ran a music store in Moline, Illinois, and Louie learned to play drums and piano starting at age three, and also learned the basics of brass and string instruments during his youth. By his early teens he was giving lessons in his father's store, and he also became an accomplished tap dancer.
