I’ve loved his playing since I started listening to this music, but this essay is great because you’re explaining the details I don’t notice. Thanks again for posting!

Great article. I didn’t know about Blues No. 2. Some of my favorite Philly Joe Jones performances are on Elmo Hope’s Sounds from Rikers Island.

Great list. I’d also add his work behind Bill Evans on Oleo from “Everybody Digs...” Unbelievable stuff
