Great drummer, Ed Shaughnessy was born Edwin Thomas Shaughnessy on January 29th, 1929 in Jersey City, USA.
He started studying piano but soon switched to drums. His first gig was in 1948 with George Shearing Group. He played for a while with Bobby Byrne, and still in 1948, Ed joined Charlie Ventura Orquestra, until 1950.
He toured Europe as part of Benny Goodman Sextet, also a member of Tommy Dorsey Big Band and playing gigs with Lucky Millinder.
Then, he moved to New York, starting a fruitful career as sessionman.
In 1969, he played with Roy Eldridge and Coleman Hawkins at Maryland Jazz Festival.
He also had his own Big Band for some time.
As a curiosity, when Jimi Hendrix appeared at The Tonight Show on TV, he played with Billy Cox on bass and used Ed Shaughnessy on drums in his performance of ´Lover man´. Shaughnessy played in The Tonight Show Band from 1967 to 1992.
Sadly, Ed Shaughnessy passed away on 24th May, 2013 in Calabasas, California due to a heart attack. He was 84.
This is a very brief list of some band where he played. Also, the credit list is quite incomplete, but I hope it´ll be growing in the future, as soon as I have the time to dedicate to it.
