Edwin T. Shaughnessy was born 29 January 1929, in Jersey City, New Jersey. A self-taught drummer, Shaughnessy came to prominence, mainly in the New York area, in the late 40s working with George Shearing, Jack Teagarden, Georgie Auld and especially Charlie Ventura.
In the 50s he became more widely known owing to engagements with bands led by Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey and he also worked with Johnny Richards. In the 60s he was with Count Basie and also worked extensively in New York studios, securing a 29 year engagement with The Tonight Show band, under Doc Severinson.

Although best known as a big band drummer, Shaughnessy’s considerable skills spilled over into small group work with Gene Ammons, Roy Eldridge, Billie Holiday, Mundell Lowe, Teo Macero, Charles Mingus, Shirley Scott, Jack Sheldon, Horace Silver and many others.

For several years Shaughnessy was a member of the house band at Birdland and other New York clubs. In the early 70s he was doing similar work in Los Angeles and is credited with discovering Diane Schuur, whom he introduced at the 1976 Monterey Jazz Festival.

Shaughnessy’s consummate skills have allowed him to become a sought-after teacher, an activity which he pursued through the 80s and 90s while simultaneously maintaining a busy recording and live performance schedule.

It’s only been in the past few years, when his family responsibilities have increased, that he has had to place a narrower focus on his goals. In 2009 he had knee replacement surgery at the age of 80, but remained a modern drumming legend in his own time.

His percussion credits appear on over 500 recordings. Shaughnessy died of a heart attack at his home in Calabasas, California on May 24, 2013; he was 84 years old.

It was exciting to see Mike Cwynar perform with the Yellow Blackbird Band tonight at 21 Rocks. He is very talented on bass, keyboard and vocals. The band was awesome. I am so proud of him. He was a student of mine at St. Bernard High School in the 80s. It’s great to see where life has taken him.
