Profile:
Jo Jones (born October 7, 1911, Chicago, Illinois, USA - died September 3 1985, New York City, New York, USA) was an American jazz drummer. He was sometimes known as Papa Jo Jones to distinguish him from younger drummer "Philly" Joe Jones.
He was one of the first drummers to promote the use of brushes on drums and shifting the role of timekeeping from the bass drum to the hi-hat cymbal. Jones had a major influence on later drummers such as Buddy Rich, Kenny Clarke, Roy Haynes, Max Roach, and Louie Bellson. He also starred in several films, most notably the musical short Jammin' the Blues (1944).
Jones performed regularly in later years at the West End jazz club at 116th and Broadway in New York City. These performances were generally very well attended by other drummers such as Max Roach and Roy Haynes. In addition to his artistry on the drums, Jones was known for his irascible, combative temperament.
One famous instance of his irritable temper was in the spring of 1936, when he threw a cymbal at a very young Charlie Parker - who had failed to improvise after losing the chord changes. Parker was in fact, inspired by this and went on to become arguably the greatest saxophonist ever.
In contrast to the prevailing jazz drum style exemplified by Gene Krupa's loud, insistent pounding of the bass drum on each beat, Jones often omitted bass drum playing altogether. Jones also continued a ride rhythm on hi-hat while it was continuously opening and closing instead of the common practice of striking it while it was closed. Jones's style influenced the modern jazz drummer's tendency to play timekeeping rhythms on a suspended cymbal that is now known as the ride cymbal. -wikipedia
