CD Reviews

Papa Joe's rare solo outings

Southern Slim | Memphis, USA | 06/03/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It is really about time that someone put these treasured recordings on disc. Jo Jones, the father of modern drumming only made a few solo albums in his 5 decade long career and here's two of them on one CD. Half trio and half sextet - this truly showcases his amazing technique and unparralelled brushwork - he even uses his hands on a few cuts. This guy was truly a magician - the trio sides feature Ray and Tom Bryant and the sextet sides feature Sweets Edison, Bennie Green, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Forest and Tommy Potter. Find me any modern drummer who's half as good as Jo Jones and I'll eat this review"
