Then there is Tony Williams (Pan Am North Stars) who is the 2nd most prolific inventor and innovator of pans, The current 6 bass is Tony Williams invention, pan on wheels, the spider web tenor which led to the current High Tenor and much more. Many Johnny come lately like Spree Simon claim this and that and they have their backers for one reason or the other but there are people still alive today who can corroborate the facts
Let me list Ellie's firsts, The first note oriented pan (the Ping Pong) this led to his 32 note Tenor pan that became the staple of all the bands in T&T from 1946 to mid 70's. The first fully chromatic pan, Rubber on the sticks, the first double pans, the first tripple pans, the strap around the neck and the sweetest pans even to now. Then there is Tony Williams (Pan Am North Stars) who is probably the 2nd most prolific inventor and innovator of pans,
thanks for the upload, i had to watch this for a music class and having it on youtube was very convenient. very interesting history.
