Vinyl LP of the Day Philly Joe Jones
Philly Joe's Beat is a beautiful bit of modernist hardbop by the master hard bop drummer. Philly Joe displays his usual clarity and groove, but the real treat is an unexpected appearance by the great Bill Barron, who plays tenor on the session. Barron's tenor is amazingly precise, and filled with far-reaching concepts, economically trimmed to fit into some nice tight solos. Tracks include "Muse Rapture", "Lori", "Dear Old Stockholm", "Salt Peanuts", "Got To Take Another Chance", and "That's Earl Brother". A classic, and always better on vinyl!
