Sidney Catlett (born January 17, 1910 in Evansville, Indiana and died March 25, 1951 Chicago, Illinois) was a jazz drummer often referred to as "Big Sid Catlett" because of his large frame. He started at piano, but switched to drums and entered formal study when his family moved to Chicago. His career began in Chicago in 1928 with Darnell Howard. In adulthood he moved to New York City and worked with Benny Carter, Fletcher Henderson, Elmer Snowden, and others. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music

Sidney Catlett (* 17. Januar 1910 in Evansville, Indiana; † 25. März 1951 in Chicago, Illinois), aufgrund seiner Körpergröße Big Sid Catlett genannt, war ein afroamerikanischer Schlagzeuger im Jazz. Er war „einer der swingendsten, aber auch einflussreichsten und technisch-solistisch versiertesten Schlagzeuger der Jazzgeschichte“ (Martin Kunzler).
