Dino Danelli question

[Patrick]

Hi,

Background: Dino came up playing jazz, including with Lionel Hampton. His chops with the Rascals could be driving a big old band.

Question: Has Dino Danelli played with any big swing outfit since his emergence with the Rascals. (I figure if he did it would be killing, but I cannot recall such an event.)

thanks,

Patrick

Not that I know of but he spent half his time at the Metropole watching big band drummers so it would stand to reason he had a strong influence. I believed he even lived there for a while when he was young.
