Jo Jones was truly one of the greats; he pioneered some of the the sock
cymbal rhythms all drummers take for granted today. His subtlety and
keen sense of time were legendary.
In 1934 he joined the Count Basie band and remained there until 1948. He
also worked with artists like Coleman Hawkins, Jimmy Rushing, Billie
Holiday, Art Tatum, Lester Young and Duke Ellington.
