Afterlife band just got better

A belated so long to Stan Levey, who died last month but for some reason only made the New York Times today. I've been listening to Levey drumming all weekend on my Bird binge. He played behind Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in their primes and was even Parker's roommate for awhile. There's a documentary on Levey's life I'd like to see.
