“The Jo Jones Special is the first album on which ‘the man who plays
like the wind’ has been the leader. Throughout all the sides, the uniting
personality is Jo, a master of flowingly musical jazz drumming. Aside
from his huge stature in the history of jazz percussion, Jo still remains
one of the greatest of contemporary jazz drummers.” (Ralph J. Gleason) |
