"Gwen" is by piano, bass, and drums only; with Philly Joe Jones on piano.
Any of the three albums recorded for Riverside under his leadership could easily have been titled "Philly Joe Jones and Friends." During the hectic post-bop era of the late Fifties and early Sixties, no drummer was more active or as much in demand for record dates on New York-based labels like Riverside and Blue Note. Philly Joe (who was nicknamed in honor of his hometown to avoid confusion with Count Basie's longtime rhythm section mainstay, Jo Jones) first gained attention with the Miles Davis Quintet, then led groups of his own, so that every player in the shifting lineups here (including Blue Mitchell, Pepper Adams, Sonny Clark, Jimmy Garrison) had either worked for him or been superbly supported by him on many a session.

This is a particularly interesting hard bop-oriented set led by drummer Philly Joe Jones. Most unusual is "Gwen," a Jones ballad that has the leader on both piano and (via overdubbing) drums in a trio with bassist Jimmy Garrison. Otherwise, trumpeter Blue Mitchell, trombonist Julian Priester, tenor saxophonist Bill Barron, either Dolo Coker or Sonny Clark on piano, Garrison, and Jones form a sextet that performs modern tunes by Barron, Priester, and Jones, in addition to "I'll Never Be the Same" and Philly Joe's feature on "Gone" (based on the Miles DavisGil Evans interpretation of "Porgy and Bess"). A well-conceived, diverse, and recommended CD reissue.

A fiery drummer and a masterful accompanist, Philly Joe Jones came to fame as a key member with the first classic Miles Davis Quintet. After serving in the Army, he moved to New York in 1947, became the house drummer at Cafe Society and played with a who's who of bop (including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Fats Navarro). He worked regularly with Ben Webster, Joe Morris, Tiny Grimes, Lionel Hampton, and Tadd Dameron (1953). Jones was with Miles Davis during 1955-1958, including the quintet years (1955-1956) with John Coltrane, Red Garland, and Paul Chambers and the beginnings of the super sextet that also included Cannonball Adderley (recording the classic Milestones album). In 1958, he started leading his own groups, recording for Riverside (1958-1959) and Atlantic (1960). Jones lived in London and Paris during 1967-1972 (performing and recording with some avant-garde players, including Archie Shepp). He eventually returned to Philadelphia, where he led a fusion group, Le Grand Prix, toured with Bill Evans during 1976, recorded for Galaxy in 1977 and 1979, and worked with Red Garland. Starting in 1981, he led the group Dameronia, which revived Tadd Dameron's music. But in reality, everything that Philly Joe Jones did after Miles Davis was anticlimactic.
