  Philly Joe Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Rudolph (Philly Joe) Jones (July 15, 1923 – August 30, 1985) was a Philadelphia-born United States jazz drummer.
The name "Philly Joe" was used to avoid confusion with Jo Jones, the drummer from the Count Basie Orchestra, who became known as "Papa Jo Jones".
Jones then toured and recorded with Miles Davis from 1955 to 1958 — a band that became known as "The Quintet", and is regarded by many as one of the greatest groups in the history of jazz.

Philly Joe in his later years may have been a shade less audacious than in his youth, but you’d never know it listening to his bristling precision traps work on these five tracks.
Jones moves in for a solo that is surprisingly sedate before taking things out.
Also unexpected and of interest is Gordon’s raspy vocal preface to the romantic run through of “Polka Dots and Moonbeams.” Old ground to be sure, but even a well-trodden tune such as this is ideal fodder for these musicians to uncover the magic just under the surface.

I'm not sure how deeply Burns is going to get into drummer lineage, but Philly, veteran with Bill Evans and Red Garland among others, is about as deep as it gets.
Through the entire record, Philly Joe Jones is as swinging as the rest of the historic lineup.
Not only that this type of harmonious jazz playing has lost some level of its reverence (with all due respect to Ken Burns, who is doing good work), but even that locally here in the Bay Area-- this stuff was rampant at one time.

Although one might think considering the personnel (which includes trumpeter Kenny Wheeler) and the time period that this CD reissue contains an avant-garde session, the music is generally straightahead hard bop.
Drummer Philly Joe Jones, who has short solos on each of the six selections, is a dominant force even when playing brushes in the ensembles.
He contributed two of the six selections (including "Trailways Express" which is a revisit to the Miles Davis arrangement of "Two Bass Hit") and clearly inspires the younger musicians, all of whom were from England; altoist Peter King and tenor-saxophonist Harold Mcnair are particularly impressive.

Red Garland mixed together the usual influences of his generation (Nat Cole, Bud Powell, and Ahmad Jamal) into his own distinctive approach; Garland's block chords themselves became influential on the players of the 1960s.
That changed when he became a member of the classic Miles Davis Quintet (1955-1958), heading a rhythm section that also included Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones.
After leaving Miles, Garland had his own popular trio and recorded very frequently for Prestige, Jazzland, and Moodsville during 1956-1962 (the majority of which are available in the Original Jazz Classics series).
