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

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.

It doesn't get better.

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

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 !

When GIANTS Walked The Earth [PS: Saw them all live...Boykins with Sun Ra]

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

Best camerawork for a drum solo I've ever seen! Thanks to the camera man for focusing on hands and not the Jo's face the whole time. Editing gets a little too "creative" at the end, but still awesome.

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)!

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

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

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

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

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.❤

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

The Master at work. Too bloody marvellous for words, to paraphrase

Never heard a drummer make drums talk before !

merci pour ce partage.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ! Où j'apparais en fond de scène dans la dernière minute de la séquence !!!

Caravan in Nice. Nice, very nice!

All superb musicians

She was draggin and he was givin her the stink eye!

Wow! This is something worth studying. It looks like he's playing a 16" or smaller cymbal there: way smaller than I was expecting.

Excellent upload, good sir.

Incredible performance!

Magic Hands

LONG LIVE DUKE ELLINGTON.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

5:06 he realized how nice he is.

ohhhhhhhhhh pero que barbaridad , gracias !!!!!

This video is a study, in what musical drumming is all about every serious drummer //MUSICIAN should study this video intensely!😅

I-AM-A-FAN!!😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Le batteur est un barman de sons. Jean Cocteau.😎

I am not a huge fan of drum solos but when soloists are as good as Jo Jones then the drum solo becomes art and incredible stick control. Also at 7 mins 40 he even had time to throw in the intro to Am I Evil by Diamond Head which is pretty impressive as this is two years before it was released.

WOW

muito bom 🤠

Ella Fitzgerald in the backstage audience ... Nice was irreal !

A drums Master

Молодец мужик!

Giving the keyboard player with dodgy timing the side eye a few times at the start

The great Papa JO JONES who thought John Bonham was the first to play snare drum with his hands? NOT ME!!!

Hold up did he just do the whip the cream roll? if so it was very good

Papa Jo Jones appears uncomfortable w Mary Lou William's playing throughout (his facial expressions offer a clue as well) - beginning with her laying the melody line way back (Jelly Roll Morton actually developed this style many years prior ... some people thought it was a mistake when they first heard his recording...) and by the end of this song Jo Jones springs up from the drums before Williams is done with her fermata/cadenza. Jo Jones and Williams were not together - Jones was just too frustrated trying to find her groove ... As a professional drummer I can spot this and relate ... sometimes when playing outdoors, live festivals, the sound can be off - if a drummer can't hear the bass player or pianist well enough they cannot hear where others are placing their time feel. His show biz chops take over after he springs up off the drums and he offers his arm towards her with big smiles for the audience. Typically a jazz drummer will roll around the kit with everyone else in the fermata and make an attempt to orchestrate a grand finale hit...

Wonderful music, but the camera work fell like it was edited by a chihuahua on speed. I just couldn't watch more than a minute of it.

F*cking stupid advertisments that suddenly pop out in the middle of the solo.....an insult to art of music! Jo Jones the legend!

Mary Lou... not quite my tempo...

ЗАЧЕМ ТАК МНОГО СНИМАТЬ РУКИ? СНИМИ ТЫ КРУПНЫЙ ПЛАН: ТАМ И ЭМОЦИИ, И ФИЗИОЛОГИЯ, И МИМИКА, И ТЕХНИКА, НО НЕТ ЖЕ...(((

That snare work, da Goat. BOTH Morello & Rich comes *after* him sorry.

He played the same solo over and over through the years. Always the rimshot tricks, always the fast 'clicker' on the floor tom.... Yes he was a great drummer, but if you compare a solo from 1960 with this one... nothing has changed.
