Great jazz drummer (he also played harmonica in some records), Donald Bailey (known as Donald ´Duck´ Bailey) was born Donald Orland Bailey Sr on March 26th, 1933 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, from a musical family (both his father and brother were players and bassist Victor Bailey is Donald´s nephew).
