Drum Master "Papa" Jo Jones: "The Jo Jones Special"
Tonight's Jazz Feature is a style known as "Mainstream Jazz". It really represents a concept where young and older musicians share a common ground. Some players are adaptable and some are not . This session called "The Jo Jones Special" represents some of the old and some of the new. It was recorded in August of 1955 with the leader Jonathan "Jo" Jones on drums. A master drummer was Jo. He assembled a fine group here with Emmett Berry on trumpet, Bennie Green on trombone and Eli "Lucky" Thompson on tenor saxophone on the front line. On piano is Nat Pierce, Basie stalwarts Freddie Green on guitar and Walter Page on bass work hand in glove with Jo Jones. An honored guest on the first and last tune of this album is Count Basie himself replacing Nat Pierce. Enjoy this fine music tonight on "The Jo Jones Special".
