The Everest Years reissues in full the albums Jo Jones Trio and Vamp 'Till Ready, two of drummer Jo Jones' three sets for Everest, bypassing a duet album with Milt Hinton titled Percussion and Bass. The first half of the program has Jones heading a trio with pianist Ray Bryant (who was a new discovery at the time) and bassist Tommy Bryant. Although not as well known as the same group's Vanguard recording of the time, there are plenty of fine moments during this project and Jones shows off his expertise with brushes. The remainder of the CD is in a Count Basie groove, a sextet date with trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, Jimmy Forrest on tenor, trombonist Bennie Green, pianist Tommy Flanagan, and bassist Tommy Potter. Some songs only use one or two of the horns, but each player gets his spot. Edison was very consistent during the era and Forrest has a few muscular tenor solos. Fans of small group swing and drummers who want to hear Jones in a couple of well-recorded sets will enjoy this CD.

Jo Jones
Active Decades: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s
Born: Oct 07, 1911 in Chicago, IL
Died: Sep 03, 1985 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Mainstream Jazz, Swing
Jo Jones shifted the timekeeping role of the drums from the bass drum to the hi-hat cymbal, greatly influencing all swing and bop drummers. Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson were just two who learned from his light but forceful playing, as Jones swung the Count Basie Orchestra with just the right accents and sounds. After growing up in Alabama, Jones worked as a drummer and tap-dancer with carnival shows. He joined Walter Page's Blue Devils in Oklahoma City in the late '20s. After a period with Lloyd Hunter's band in Nebraska, Jones moved to Kansas City in 1933, joining Count Basie's band the following year. He went with Basie to New York in 1936 and with Count, Freddie Green and Walter Page he formed one of the great rhythm sections. Jones was with the Basie band (other than 1944-46 when he was in the military) until 1948 and in later years he participated in many reunions with Basie alumni. He was on some Jazz at the Philharmonic tours and recorded in the 1950s with Illinois Jacquet, Billie Holiday, Teddy Wilson, Lester Young, Art Tatum and Duke Ellington among others; Jones appeared at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival with both Basie and the Coleman Hawkins-Roy Eldridge Sextet. Jo Jones led sessions for Vanguard (1955 and 1959) and Everest (1959-60), a date for Jazz Odyssey on which he reminisced and played drum solos (1970) and mid-'70s sessions for Pablo and Denon. In later years he was known as "Papa" Jo Jones and thought of as a wise if brutally frank elder statesman.
