Inside Jazz
Sunday April 20th, 2025 with Jim Reil & Ron Steeds
Shelly Manne and His Men recorded live for the Contemporary Records label

Skip to Tracks
In November of 1960 West Coast drummer and band leader Shelly Manne opened what would become one of the most predominant jazz clubs in the L.A. area. It was called SHELLY'S MANNE-HOLE. Shelly's band would play there Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. What we will listen to today are highlights from the three day stint March 3-5, 1961 that Shelly Manne and His Men played at Shelly's Manne Hole.
