Looks interesting. Is that the Willie Jones who played with Monk and others in the 50´s ? That was the Brooklyn Scene then..... Max too. 

And I remember my disappointment when I bought "Charles Mingus Quintet plus Max Roach" which has Willie Jones as the regular drummer and I had hoped that "plus Max Roach" means TWO DRUMMERS, but it was only two tunes, where Roach replaced Jones (but anyway, a fantastic record, even if it does not have two drummers). See, this was the time of "Prime Time" , so stuff with two drummers was interesting for us drummer freak youngsters.....

No, Willie Jones III is a very active drummer on today's NYC scene. I think he must be the grandson of the Willie Jones who played with Monk and Mingus on the 50s.

Check him out at Smalls via YouTube. He's very good!

Hmmm. . . good point about Mose days.

Right now

I mean there's also Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones. It can't miss and it knocks it to the edge of the park.

Oh boy. This is bringing back many memories. Where has Frank Bivins been since our Pierce Tower days?
