I just wanted to share this with all lovers are Philly Joe Jones music I was fortunate enough in the 80s to live with Philly Joe Jones for approximately six months I learned a lot from him in that time.  Mostly I learned to seek my own path in music I was always trying to copy miles music and I was going through Philly Joe's record collection he would always tell me he would say you're never going to play like miles there's never another never be another miles. , It took a long time to figure that out because I didn't even know who I was but I just wanted to let you all know Philly Joe Jones does have a son the name is Chris Jones and Chris has a son named Christian so Philly Joes bloodline is continued I just wanted to share this with you all because Philly Joe has a special place in my heart.Most importantly he never ever made me feel like a whiteboy,he was truly impartial person,I trully miss Joe and his wife Eloise ,unknowingly those were the greatest memories of my life.

Philly Joe Jones is my one top favorite drummer.  He had everything a great drummer has and more natural flow, ideas, melodicism, musicality and swing than anyone, for me.  I have many other favorites (S. Cattlett, V. Fournier, R Haynes, F Dunlop, K Clarke...)  Philly Joe is a one-in-a-billion genius who made the drum solo a think of uncanny beauty with a solo you can sing and a solo that inspires singing!!  He made everyone sound their very best and is on so many killer historic recordings by people like Miles, Bud, Hank Mobley, Wynton Kelly, J Griffin, J Coltrane, Phineas Newborn and on and on......His brushes....no one comes close, don't get me started.....

I was a tap dancer in the fifties with the lotus eaters Philly Jo Jones taught me to trade fours I was three years old trading fours with Philly Jo he would play beautiful rhythms on any surface available on stage and off I was blessed to know him

Master Drummer - Master Musician!!!

44:56 for Joe Jones slaying the piano

I listen to my Father (Junius W. Rochester) LP Record of Philly Joe Jones Drums Around The World all my life and been his number one fan.  My dear Father took me to see him play live many times.

This is great a first hand account of the history of jazz

I saw Philly JJ once in 197o/71. In philly.I was about 15/20 feet way. Needless to say it was great. I have everything he released as a leader or co-leader.

PHILLY JOE PLAYING PIANO.  @44:54

PJJ piano composition was beautiful and so creative.

What a beautiful song for Mrs. Joe Jones

His use of the brushes is incredible (obviously).  You hear things on records and you wonder what they are doing, know ya know.

Baubles,bangles & beads, Philly IS the master !!

Very imaginative drummer. Miles loved him. Jimmy Cobb was influenced by him. Bill Evans loved him too. I love him.

Thanks for showing Philly Joe’s drumming!

A vital document in American music history. And I had no idea he was such a fine piano player. A musician's musician. Wow. Thanks for sharing.

Pure gold .I have   been waiting for this all my life..Thank you ,thank you ..
