Stan Levey (April 5, 1926 – April 19, 2005) was an American jazz drummer. Born Adolph Stanley Levey in Philadelphia, Levey is considered one of the earliest bebop drummers, and one of the very few white drummers involved in the formative years of bebop. He played in Philadelphia with Dizzy Gillespie's group in 1942, at the age of 16. Soon after, he went to New York City, where he and Gillespie worked on 52nd Street with Charlie Parker and Oscar Pettiford.

You may not hear on this album all that Stan was capable of because even as a leader,but it is easily a five star album. Stan sermonizes music before personality, not having the fault of say other geniuses like Elvin Jones or Tony Williams who are very good at beating the crap out of their kit even when it's not called for.
