Sincronismo de uma música nos detalhes... Rever vídeos com mestres em que iniciaram com os instrumentais, e cada vez um aprendizado 👏👏

The Queen of Jazz - without whom there would be no Dizzy, Monk, Bird or Bud - & the Papa of Jazz Drums=Timeless Masterpiece!

[thrashtoad]

I can watch this sober AND high as a kite and be fucking amazed both times. A true master of the instrument expanding it past what anyone thought was possible. Incredible

[ditroyable]

Il m'est juste d'ajouter la grande classe de Mary Lou Williams. Comment elle allonge les valeurs du thème, auquel elle donne ainsi plus d'élégance... Voici un Trio pour lequel rechercher des archives.

There are only a few drummers that capture my attention with a solo. Jo Jones is one of the few that keeps my attention waiting to see and hear what he'll do next.

Cracking himself up with his own Salt Peanuts quote 😂 amazing

Love love the melody of CARAVAN. It's very lyrical in it's presentation. The Cadence of Camels, ol Duke was in the pocket for this one. This version is extremely spirited. That Gal sure can tickle the Ivories!

Playing that great at age 66 is unbelievable. RIP Papa Jo Jones

[ditroyable]

Jo Jones est devenu un autre exemple parmi d'autres pour moi (comme pour bien d'autres batteurs jazz) : quelle inspiration, que de contrastes de "moods", de tempi, et toutes ses trouvailles dans sa frappe; je peux dire qu'il m'a motivé plus que jamais ! Grand bravo !

Now I don’t know how old Jo Jones was when this video was made, but the fact that he still had all those reflexes at his disposal, physical reflexes to play all those complex rhythms, and at that speed is nothing short of amazing, miraculous! This is a lot about how Jo Jones lived his life that he’s this healthy and such an advanced age to play these kind of rhythms at the speed, precision, power, equality, that he is playing at is just mind-boggling! The man was a genius, the musical genius! In the tradition of BIG SID CATTLETT! (yes, and I know they were contemporaries)!

Yes sir.. a master class in all that is

[fsib]

Superbe musique et le grand Jo Jones accompagne cette "Caravane" avec beaucoup de finesse, de subtilité et de swing....topissime !!!

[evertvanderhik]

Papa was really one of the coolest drummers. Unique style.

4:26… I am speechless, his creativity is unreal

[yqisq]

mad respect to whoever edited the film to make the image and sound sync up perfectly.

Merci beaucoup from Paris France for M L Williams First Class rendering rendez-vous version. 👍👍👍

[roromoho]

He play like a kitten that has already had nine lives...just beautiful

Beautiful capture of father time himself late in his career but still playing great. What we now think of is the funk owes everything to Jo and Count Basie's Rhythm Section of the early 1930s. The same thing that makes Swing Swing makes Funk funky.❤

Two great timeless musicians who never sounded dated, They could be anywhere between 20 and 80 in their musical concepts.
