My Son the Jazz Drummer!
My Son the Jazz Drummer!(subtitled Modern Jazz Versions of Jewish and Israeli Songs) is an album by drummer Shelly Manne performing jazz adaptations of traditional and contemporary Jewish music, recorded in 1962 and released on the Contemporary label.[1] The album was re-released on CD in 2004 as Steps to the Desert.The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The arrangements by Rogers, Feldman, Edwards and Lennie Niehaus turn the music into modern mainstream jazz circa 1962, looking toward hard bop and the funky soul jazz that was popular during the era.... more successful than one might expect".
