Chris Columbo

Joseph Christopher Columbus Morris, better known as 'Crazy' Chris Columbo (June 17, 1902 – August 20, 2002) was an American jazz drummer. He was sometimes credited as Joe Morris on record, though he is no relation to Joe Morris the free jazz guitarist or Joe Morris the trumpeter. Columbus was active as a jazz musician from the 1920s into the 1970s, and was the father of Sonny Payne. He led his own band from the 1930s into the late 1940s, holding a residency at the Savoy Ballroom for a period.
