Philly Joe Jones Philly Joe's Beat / Philly Joe Jones & Elvin Jones Together!

Philly Joe Jones came to fame as a key member with the first classic Miles Davis Quintet. The house drummer at Cafe Society, Jones played with the who's who of bop in the late '40s. He recorded extensively during the '50s and started leading his own groups later in the decade and even led a jazz fusion group in the '70s and '80s. You'll also hear him paired with Elvin Jones, best known for his association with the classic Coltrane Quartet of the early '60s. Both releases feature Paul chambers, and "Together" also includes work by Hank Mobley, Curtis Fuller and Wynton Kelly.
