January ASMAC Luncheon with Richard Bellis @ Catalinas Jazz Club Wednesday, Jan 21st, 2015 @ 11:30am The background of Richard bellis is distinguished by its surprising diversity: child actor, touring rock ‘n roll music director, arranger/conductor for Las Vegas headliners, university lecturer and now, award-winning Hollywood composer. Born in Pasadena, California in 1946, he began his show business career acting in movies (notably the sci-fi classic “Them!”) and TV (from “Cheyenne” to “Batman”) but turned his attention to music in his teens, fronting his own Dixieland band and writing arrangements for several Los Angeles – based big bands. Within months of graduating from high school, he became musical director for the touring version of the popular TV rock ‘n roll showcase Shindig, leading the band for such ‘60’s stars as Bobby Sherman, the Dixie Cups and Gerry & the Pacemakers. That led to a long stint as musical director for Johnny Mathis on cross-country and worldwide tours, and Bellis’ own first album of instrumentals (for famed London producer Norman Newell).
