Seems Gus Johnson may be an unsung drumming hero:

Checkout his super crisp style filled with perfection in this 1964 concert with Ella:

I especially love the rendition of "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" . . . also notable is their cover of "Can't Buy Me Love" . . . the second rendition is best (there were two shows that night).

Great quartet backing Ella includes Roy Eldridge who is said to have bridged swing and bebop; quite a credit for one musician!
