I had the fortune of performing with Mr. Bellson in the 70's in the Memphis area in much the same situation. Fortunately for me, I was a tenor sax player on a fill-in section, and got to play the whole concert. It was amazing. I learnewd more about playing the pro gig there than anywhere else untill 12 or 13 years later.
I also got to play with Bobby Shew in the 90's. Another great performer. Easy to work for and enjoyed his playing.
