@@ghiblinerd6196 he use to let me sit on his left knee before bed and would let me hold his hands while he played and practiced... he truly was a warm and loving man, even though many have depicted him otherwise, and was totally different off stage then on. He was and always will be my favorite uncle.
Slugs in the lower east side was one of his favorite places to play... a lot of greats played there and stopped in to play with whatever band was playing.. the Vanguard was his second favorite place play... glad you got to see him
One of my all time favourites -- I would recomend listeng to Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess" record and the track "GONE" which features Philly Joe playing the most tasteful breaks you could ever hope to hear
Good recommendations. One of my favorite Philly Joe performances is from a 1956 album called 'Whims of Chambers' by bassist Paul Chambers. The title of the tune is "Omicron" which is appropriate for these times. Also features John Coltrane, Donald Byrd, Horace Silver and Kenny Burrell. ruclips.net/video/ZPohw2xHpxE/видео.html
i would like to see more than the solo, i would love to see his comping. philly is great not just because of his solos and rudiments, he has one of the most swinging coping ever. tx for the video
Really?? Amazing! Miles Davis had two drummers over the years who really stood out...Philly Joe and Tony Williams. Although they both did interesting solo work, their ensemble playing was the best. Get the 1958 "Milestones" CD with Coltrane, Cannonball, and Miles. It contains some of the best jazz drumming ever recorded. Philly Joe Jones...
Philly Joe can tell you a story when he drummed. So Powerful so over whelming. Full of percussion excitement. Buddy Loved him and so did many many many many drummers. Philly Joe no drum books or musical schools teach this. You either have it or you just don't. Simple as that Philly Joe always saying something and that something was something else
Dude. This is a good clip. No one plays with the character that he has anymore... at least, few do. The way he played the snare drum was so dagone slick!
I think it was more like Buddy influenced him, (Buddy was a bit older & playing since he was 2), but I prefer both their styles for the drum soloing portion of things to a lot of other players. They had more of a rudimental approach, that made things more interesting to me. Perhaps both of them did a lot of listening to Chick Webb though, because he was playing like that before them.
@@robd2650 In Philly's case it was, Buddy, Chick Webb, Big Sid Catlett, Kenny Clarke and Max Roach. Philly plays a lot of Max's phrases and elongates them by buzzing 8th. notes.
I think that it is Monk as this recording was from a Monk live in Paris video I used to have a few years back... There are other drummers in the video but he blows them away with his hard swing!
@jenisereedus i tear up reading all the amazing things people wrote and honestly makes me miss him that much more! So glad you got to see and meet him!❤
Fellas! FELLAS!! Whay can't we just appreciate the masters without all the so and so is better than so and so nonsense. Great! is GREAT! Plain and simple.
fauxmosmexual I'm not saying that guys like George Kollias are bad drummers, they play an entirely different style. However, I was referring to people who only think of death metal drumming as good drumming.
I view metal drumming as a very technical approach to drums, while jazz is more dynamic and has a larger emphasis on "space". Not that there isn't metal like that, it's just more often than not how I've heard and seem it.
Being a drummer myself from early '80s hardcore bands onward, I'd say jazz and other mostly improvised musics are far more technical. If anything, death metal drumming requires more stamina and persistent velocity, in a sense, but that's about it.
@nadir6661 I believe that Philly is playing on a set of Premiers. Philly Joe gave me my very first Zildjian cymbal over 35 years ago, a 20" ride with 10 rivets which I still have to this day.
Yea Philly Joe was a fantastically great drummer. I enjoyed playing along with all the records he was on more than any drummer. He could teach anyone how to swing. An amazing melodic accompanist too behind the solists. He knew exactly what to do and when to do it. His solos at the beginning of 'Al Leu Cha' on 'Round Midnight (possibly the best jazz album of all time) are all time classics & his playing on Bill Evan's 'Interplay' and 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' albums makes the alubms PERFECT.
I was very lucky to go with him to the studio many times while recording Round Midnight and miss and him very much. Round Midnight is my absolute favorite jazz album ☺️ "Interplay" and 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' are both to notch as well.
@killagams: It is. This was filmed on tour in Paris, Where Philly Joe was living at the time. He sat in on a couple of tunes at this concert. At the time Monk was touring with a 17-year-old drummer named Austin "Paris" Wright, whom he discovered one night in a Harlem club.
I agree kirksiesz. Man ,I'm glad somebody remembers that Miles had three great drummers during the early years. Jimmy Cobb's delicate technique was perfect for the classic "Kind of Blue" album. Btw, Jimmy is still playin and soundin great in his late seventies.
'Philly' Joe Jones was a very great drummer just like his 'Papa' Jo Jones was before him. I saw him with Miles & Coltrane & Garland & Paul Chamers in Chicago at the Modern Jazz Room when I was 12 and thought because Philly had only half his drum kit and Coltrane's mouth piece kept squeaking and they all were dressed differently that it was a local Chicago pick up group in subbing for the Miles Davis Quintet since Miles never spoke or announced anything when he got up on the bandstand.
That was just how kits were then, but also in my opinion, the only reason to add more to your kit than this is either because you have to, i.e. cowbell for latin, or maybe gig demands (John Riley said that once when he played with Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy kept motioning for him to swing on the china because he liked it better in he mix with his playing). Or toms if you're trying to go for a melodic idea like Steve Gadd often does in riffs like 'late in the evening' and even more so in his solos.
LOL....good observation about the neck tie. I can imagine old Philly in the dressing room smacked saying, "Oh man, it's show time, I got to put my tie on". Anyway, he was awesome. So many of the jazz cat drummers could plays so well on dope.
Wow!!! kirksiesz, Thats a great little story. I guess Jimmy is not only one of the last great Jazz drummers, but, a nice, regular guy as well. Maybe that accounts for his longevity. He is the only cat still living who played on at least two, of which I consider to be, Miles greatest albums.
i love this guy man has groove, alot of older drummers have that groove feel these days its different, that doesnt get as much attention you know? it should,,
The most amazing drummer and an even more amazing uncle ❤️ miss you dearly Uncle Joe
The great Philly Joe had a sound and style that was immediately identifiable. -a giant of jazz.
It warms my heart to hear that. He was an absolute inspiration!
@@ghiblinerd6196 he use to let me sit on his left knee before bed and would let me hold his hands while he played and practiced... he truly was a warm and loving man, even though many have depicted him otherwise, and was totally different off stage then on.

Straight fire!
Best ever.
Great shot of Monk standing there listening to Philly Joe
You can hear him quoting the melody of "Nutty" all over the place in this solo. Just listen and sing the melody, it is super slick!
I wouldn't've seen that if you hadn't said. Still hard to hear but cheers for pointing it out.
Everyone holds a pair of sticks should love Philly Joe Jones...Thanks for the footage!
In a league of his own; Philly Joe Jones had such a distinctive sonic thumb print and groove..
And he never lost sight of the melody in the entire solo. PJJ was awesome!
He is one of my all time favorite drummers, along with Alan Dawson and Mel Lewis.
Quite possibly the greatest jazz drummer to have ever lived.
his solos always involved alot of nice snare work...truly one of the greats
Boy he's smackin' those heads. What raw power and feel behind that playing.
One of my favourite drummers...of any genre
I saw Philly Joe Jones with the Bill Evans trio with Eddie Gomez on bass at the Village Vanguard in the 1970's.They were great.
Philip Nestor sick man! you're very lucky :D
Philip Nestor Philly Joe and Joe Mani both played in acts backing up Lenny Bruce ...oh to be a fly on the wall...
Haha nice man. :) very jealous.
WOW!
Slugs in the lower east side was one of his favorite places to play... a lot of greats played there and stopped in to play with whatever band was playing.. the Vanguard was his second favorite place play... glad you got to see him
RIP
GOD HAS ALL OF THE BEST JAZZ DRUMMERS
This one IS Raw 🥁🎛🎚💾💾💾👊🤺📻
Love the way it swings at the beginning!
Went from watching Tony Williams to this.... I prefer this personally!
truly one of my favorite :) i love his playing in Gone from Miles and Gil Evans' Porgy and Bess
One of my all time favourites -- I would recomend listeng to Miles Davis "Porgy and Bess" record and the track "GONE" which features Philly Joe playing the most tasteful breaks you could ever hope to hear
The entire Dexter Gordon album "Dexter Calling" is a masterful performance by Philly.
Thank Hermon I''m looking forward to hearing that soon.
thank you. joe jones is my ultimo favourite...
Thanks for heads up

Tak 😎
Philly loved Buddy and stated that ”if you don’t appreciate Bernard, you don’t know anything about drumming”.
Buddy was a dirty Racist.
The late and truly Great, "Philly" Joe Jones.
One can understand why he is your favourite drummer! Thanks for sharing.
Dude. This is a good clip. No one plays with the character that he has anymore... at least, few do. The way he played the snare drum was so dagone slick!
Beautiful drumming. Damn.
lifetimes worth of experience in those heart & hands, makes me understand that to reach a certain level of playing takes a LOT of time & work
Fantastic. I Love Philly Joe. And you can clearly see here how much he influenced Buddy.
I think it was more like Buddy influenced him, (Buddy was a bit older & playing since he was 2), but I prefer both their styles for the drum soloing portion of things to a lot of other players. They had more of a rudimental approach, that made things more interesting to me. Perhaps both of them did a lot of listening to Chick Webb though, because he was playing like that before them.
Rob D You’re probably right and I’ve got my chronology wrong ! Thank you for pointing that out about their age difference.
@@robd2650 In Philly's case it was, Buddy, Chick Webb, Big Sid Catlett, Kenny Clarke and Max Roach. Philly plays a lot of Max's phrases and elongates them by buzzing 8th. notes.
Philly was a giant on drums.He had miles group cranking
What a beautiful player, great melodies and joy here, thx.
I can sit crossed legged and hands on my cheeks and listen to Philly Joe Jones all-day and all night. man was legend of jazz drumming.
Philly Joe is the best, so much style
Guys like him made it look so effortless, and all he needed was a simple 4 piece kit. Any drummer that"s worth anything doesn't need more than that!
I think that it is Monk as this recording was from a Monk live in Paris video I used to have a few years back... There are other drummers in the video but he blows them away with his hard swing!
what I like is that you can still here he is playing the song "Nutty"!!
Underrated amazing Drummer! Had the pleasure to meet him and he was a gentlemen!!
This feels nice and relaxed, and not overly flashy. Sounds really good.
There are entertainers and there are artists. Joe was a true artist who was also tremendously entertaining. What a talent!
His legacy lives forever🥁💙🎼
@jenisereedus i tear up reading all the amazing things people wrote and honestly makes me miss him that much more! So glad you got to see and meet him!❤
oyes..PHILLY is my drummer hero..He plays the song with his drums...tks 4posting
One of the all-time greats!
He is the best drummer
Buddy rich left hand alone is better though
SKILLS!!!!!!!!!! pure inspiration
Great drummer and fun to watch his solos
Certainly one of my favorites also.
Fellas! FELLAS!! Whay can't we just appreciate the masters without all the so and so is better than so and so nonsense. Great! is GREAT! Plain and simple.
Emotivo e envolvente,suas expressões faciais refletindo a intensidade da música.
Love that sixties drum sound.
+crlaw75 gotta love their Gretsch round badges!
50's
I usually don't give a fuck for the thumbs down to great stuff like this, but I'm guessing those 10 year olds are still trying to master" wipe out" .
No, I'm sure their idea of great drumming is just fast double kick pedal and single stroke rolls.
Joshua Allgood hey, a little bit of joe jones, a little bit of george kollias.

Love the sound of the drums.
Great scarf and performance! Listening to Cool struttin' now =)
The song is Nutty from the album Paris 1969 (Live from Salle Pleyel, Paris, France/1969) by Thelonious Monk
My favourite,porgy and Bess,whoa.
Perfect drummer... very very good hands!!!
My first LOVE in drums
what a lovely smile he's got
He sure knew how to accent his beats ,use of 4 stroke ruffs and ostenatos !
I love his time keeping, he's so great at comping... an I also love those dialogs he used to do with Mingus... now THAT was drum and bass...
Are you thinking of Dannie Richmond, Mingus's long time drummer?
Wow, him and Buddy Rich all time best in my opinion...
U forgot Tony Williams!
@nadir6661 I believe that Philly is playing on a set of Premiers. Philly Joe gave me my very first Zildjian cymbal over 35 years ago, a 20" ride with 10 rivets which I still have to this day.
Philly Joe another great jazz drummer.

Great solo from a jazz giant.
Un batterista meraviglioso, molto sottovalutato!

the legends of drumming:)
Melody ,in rhythm.Wished it showed Him comin in again. Artist.
@adeduction LUCKY! Wish I was born before 1987, hahahaha! Philly Joe is the man!
That's what I like,incomparable.
man, that´s what i call "groove"!
swings like hell...
Well the name Jones stood tall within the pantheon of Jazz…Papa Joe, Elvin, and Philly Joe
'Philly' Joe Jones was a very great drummer just like his 'Papa' Jo Jones was before him.

Fantastic!!!
drum solos are good to dance to!
Because he is awesome
LOL....good observation about the neck tie. I can imagine old Philly in the dressing room smacked saying, "Oh man, it's show time, I got to put my tie on". Anyway, he was awesome. So many of the jazz cat drummers could plays so well on dope.
Me too, especially with Miles !!
i wish they could make a movie about philly jones.STARRING EDDIE MURPHY.
well put, i had the same thoughts exactly.
Wow!!! kirksiesz, Thats a great little story. I guess Jimmy is not only one of the last great Jazz drummers, but, a nice, regular guy as well. Maybe that accounts for his longevity. He is the only cat still living who played on at least two, of which I consider to be, Miles greatest albums.
Philly Joe for President!
Dead presidents don't govern well.
Legend...
Great even today, awesome use of ostenatos, and things even i don't know!
That was Thelonius at the piano! I want this whole clip!
Nobody is going to be as great as hi was!
I like TM through the darkness, very mysterious
great snare chops!
i love this guy man
has groove, alot of older drummers have that groove feel
these days its different, that doesnt get as much attention you know?
it should,,
Yeah in my humble opinion groove is the most important thing!
@@craigcaver4051 True, no matter what the genre.
i like his tie!! :P
Fantastic Hands!
So damn pretty. Swingin' as always
