  • Welcome to MUSIC CIRCLE
    Jonathan David Samuel Jones (October 7, 1911 - September 3, 1985) was an American jazz drummer. A band leader and pioneer in jazz percussion, Jones anchored the Count Basie Orchestra rhythm section from 1934 to 1948. He was sometimes known as Papa Jo Jones to distinguish him from younger drummer Philly Joe Jones.
    He is generally held to be the most important drummer of his time, mainly because he caused the transition, or at the very least was instrumental in it, when the art of drumming moved from ‘Ragtime’ music to what we now know as jazz - and drumming changed. He became known as ‘Papa’ Jo Jones to avoid confusion with ‘Philly’ Joe Jones who was a dozen years younger but eventually working at the same time.
    Ragtime was a genre of drumming which appeared at the turn of the 20th century, and it was closely associated with a style of entertainment called ‘Vaudeville’. Vaudeville music was often played by one guy with drumsticks on a bass drum and a snare drum and this was called ‘double drumming’. There was of course a place for one guy playing the bass drum and another playing the snare but, the advent of the bass pedal in 1909 and the influence of the great depression would put paid to all of that. Just one guy now took care of all the associated percussion sounds (tuned or otherwise) in the band which in those days was frequently more grandly called an Orchestra .
    Jo Jones wasn’t just a drummer, he could turn his hand to piano, trumpet and saxophone. By the time he joined the Count Basie Orchestra in 1934, the centre of jazz had moved from New Orleans to Chicago, and mainly due to the influence of Jo Jones, the whole style of playing the music had changed. He shifted the drummer’s role from that of a strict-tempo timekeeper to that of an interactive member of an improvising group.

    For those who love this clip, don’t forget to appreciate his ride cymbal beat when he’s not soloing. No other drummer I’ve heard in the history of jazz drumming sounds like it. He has a very light touch with a slight lilt to his swing feel. It’s gorgeous. His time keeping is just as unique as his soloing.

I went to him wanting to add some variety to my self taught style and after telling me everything I was doing was wrong we blasted through rock and blues in a few months and then it was onto the all time greats. I am a punk who can swing 😁.

      Big Sid Cattlet, he was a big deal, he hid his incredible technical skills as a real musician, even Joe Jones was aware of that, Bernard Rich also knew who he was dealing with, and he had a very serious respect for sid- that's a fact. In fact, perhaps the best drums solo in jazz was that of 1947 in Boston.
