Solo played by Evan Hughes
A seven-page in-depth drum transcription of Philly Joe Jones [including what he plays to accompany the in and out melodies, as well as all "fours" exchanges]. From the master take.
-- horn melodies are shown above the drum staff
-- Sixteen-measure intro (great hi-hat work)
-- AABA in melody
-- Philly Joe's playing behind eight bars of Hank Mobley's first solo chorus
-- The two choruses of trading with Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan: Philly Joe's fours, plus what he plays behind the horn soloists. Timing for Hank's first entrance in the exchanges is noted on the music: 5:28.
-- AABA out melody
-- Coda (hi-hat work like the intro)
This particular track is full of the "slick" material that made Philly Joe Jones one of the best drummers of all time. Listen to how effortlessly and smoothly he plays the phrases. His fluidity and technique are absolutely fantastic.
The transcription includes his hi-hat work in the introduction, along with his interactions around the melodies and eight bars of Hank Mobley's first solo chorus, two choruses of trading fours with Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan, followed by the out melody and coda.
You'll be reminded just how remarkable Joe's drumming is when you try to play these phrases.
