Stan Levey 1926 - 2005
Bebop pioneer jazz drummer Stan Levey takes you on a musical journey from the birth of bebop, through the Big Band jazz era, to the "west coast, cool school" of modern jazz music.
Stan Levey, one of the premiere storytellers in Ken Burns' "Jazz" documentary, tells fascinating tales of his days with the famed Parker/Gillespie group on 52nd Street in New York and his being the driving force of the Stan Kenton Orchestra and Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars. The commentaries are told along with music, film clips and photographs of many jazz greats captured by world famous photographers William Claxton and Herman Leonard, and include many never before seen photographs from Stan's own personal collection.
Also included are special appearances from Stan's friends and colleagues: Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Charlie Watts, Quincy Jones, Hank Jones, Bill Holman, Lee Konitz, Howard Rumsey, Terry Gibbs, Bill Henderson, Lalo Schifrin, and many more, including some very special observations from Charlie "Bird" Parker himself.

I listened to Stan's concepts and ideals, doing cruises to the Mediterranean Sea. He was one of many drummers, whose ideals and concepts, that I Incorporated into my own playing years later. Peace Stan😔
A fine documentary!

Fantastic .. Ive seen most , if not all the Docs. on Jazz and Roots music.. I had the good fortune to see some of these Gianys , meet them and play alongside for a gig or 2.. There will never ever be another ERa like the Be-bop , Big Band , cool or however its labeled ..its just great music ..as Miles would say.. thanks for sharing..
I used to participate on the All About Jazz forum til they shut it down some years back and used to love to hear stories about The Lighthouse from one of the other members there who was a regular at The Lighthouse back in it's heyday. Her name was Saundra or Sandra.
Anybody remember her?
Great stories!
loved him on the kenton band new concepts but id stay pretty far from calling him the original bop drummer esp when in this era we had blakey roach etc etc that where ALL before stan not to mention the lew tabakin drummer mel lewis which was approx the same time as stan give or take..like i say i loved him but wouldnt say he in any way invented the style nor did he much improve on it though he played it quite well my 02 on it for what little that w buy any of us now anyway
