“Louis Bellson is the epitome of what Paul Gonsalves means when he says, “He’s a beautiful cat, man!” For in spite of his outrageous beauty, Louis Bellson is truly a beautiful person. With never a thought about getting even or getting the better of any man, he has the soul of a saint. There is nothing too good for someone he likes, and I don’t know anybody he doesn’t like or anybody who doesn’t like him.”
