Jo Jones - The Main Man

This all-star date was led by the drummer universally regarded as the dean, the daddy, the main man. Jo Jones is the source of modern drumming. He was the man who imparted his celebrated ball-bearing smoothness to the All-American rhythm section in that he inhabited with Count Basie, Walter Page, and Freddy Green. His way of playing drums led to rhythmic freedom not just for drummers but for the soloists who depended on them.

Recorded at - RCA Studios, New York, November 1976
