Lets remember Philly Joe Jones on his birthday. (July 15, 1923 - Aug. 20, 1985) Philly Joe Jones established himself as the premier jazz drummer of the mid to late 1950s. As a member of trumpeter Miles Davis Classic Quintet, he beat a path out of bebop into what came to be known as hard-bop and post-bop. He combined the finesse of swing band drummers Cozy Cole and Sid Catlett with the modern innovations of Kenny Clarke and Max Roach. Jones playing reduced the history of jazz drumming into an all-embracing contemporary style that was at once thunderous, exhilarating, and impeccably musical.
