Aaron Bell Trio • After The Party's Over



Biography
Though he studied at Xavier University and played in many New Orleans bands, Aaron Bell was no traditionalist. He was rather one of the best bassists ever in the Duke Ellington band; his powerful lines and graceful, yet sturdy support provided a rich presence in the rhythm section alongside drummer Sam Woodyard and the Duke on piano. Bell was in the Navy from 1942 to 1946, then worked with Andy Kirk in 1947. He returned to his native Oklahoma and taught music before resuming his own education at New York University. Bell recorded and worked with Lucky Millinder, Teddy Wilson and Lester Young in the '50s, while leading his own trio. They recorded in 1955 and 1958. Bell backed vocalists, and played with combos and in the Broadway show "Compulsion" before joining Ellington in 1960. He remained until 1962, then did sessions and worked in theater. He became resident composer at La Mama, an experimental New Jersey theater, in 1972. Bell also taught music in Newark and earned his masters at Columbia in 1975. He continued to teach until retiring in the early-'90s; he passed away at a Bronx, NY hospital on July 28, 2003 at the age of 82. Aaron Bell can be heard on various sessions from, among others, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Johnny Hodges, and Billy Holiday.

Biografía
Aunque estudió en la Universidad de Xavier y tocó en muchas bandas de Nueva Orleans, Aaron Bell no era un tradicionalista. Era más bien uno de los mejores bajistas de la banda de Duke Ellington; sus poderosas líneas y su apoyo grácil y robusto proporcionaban una rica presencia en la sección rítmica junto al baterista Sam Woodyard y el Duque en el piano. Bell estuvo en la Marina de 1942 a 1946, y luego trabajó con Andy Kirk en 1947. Regresó a su Oklahoma natal y enseñó música antes de reanudar su propia educación en la Universidad de Nueva York. Bell grabó y trabajó con Lucky Millinder, Teddy Wilson y Lester Young en los años 50, mientras dirigía su propio trío. Grabaron en 1955 y 1958. Bell apoyó a los vocalistas y tocó con combos y en el espectáculo de Broadway "Compulsion" antes de unirse a Ellington en 1960. Permaneció hasta 1962, luego hizo sesiones y trabajó en el teatro. Se convirtió en compositor residente de La Mama, un teatro experimental de Nueva Jersey, en 1972. Bell también enseñó música en Newark y obtuvo su maestría en Columbia en 1975. Continuó enseñando hasta su jubilación a principios de los 90; falleció en un hospital del Bronx, NY, el 28 de julio de 2003 a la edad de 82 años. Aaron Bell se puede escuchar en varias sesiones de, entre otros, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Johnny Hodges y Billy Holiday.
