Shelly Manne & His Men At The Black Hawk
by David A. Orthmann
Two decades after Shelly Manne's untimely death at the age of sixty-four, the unassuming artistry of the once popular bandleader and widely recorded sideman is largely overlooked, if not forgotten.

In the 1950s, Broadway musicals, film scores and television shows were the fodder of the day--and the drummer regularly mined these sources for material.
