Artist: Philly Joe Jones

Philly Joe Jones was an American jazz drummer. 

In 1947 he became the house drummer at Café Society in New York City, where he played with the leading bebop players of the day, including Tadd Dameron. From 1955 to 1958, Jones toured and recorded with Miles Davis Quintet — a band that became known as "The Quintet" (along with Red Garland on piano, John Coltrane on sax, and Paul Chambers on bass).

From 1958, Jones worked as a leader, but continued to work as a sideman with other musicians, including Bill Evans and Hank Mobley. Between late 1967 and 1972 Jones lived in London and Paris  performing and recording with musicians including  Archie Shepp, Mal Waldron and Hank Mobley. For two years (1967–69) Jones taught at a specially organized school in Hampstead, London.
