65 at the time and still in fine form, drummer Jo Jones had a rare opportunity to lead his own album for Pablo in 1976; the music has since been reissued on an OJC CD - Jones jams through four swing standards and a couple of basic originals with an all-star group including both Harry "Sweets" Edison and Roy Eldridge on trumpets, trombonist Vic Dickenson, tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, pianist Tommy Flanagan, rhythm guitarist Freddie Green and bassist Sam Jones - The music is very much in the Count Basie groove, with purposeful and concise solos, along with some good spots for the leader.

A sus 65 años y todavía en plena forma, el batería Jo Jones tuvo la rara oportunidad de dirigir su propio álbum para Pablo en 1976; la música se ha reeditado desde entonces en un CD de OJC. Jones toca cuatro estándares de swing y un par de originales básicos con un grupo de estrellas que incluye a Harry "Sweets" Edison y Roy Eldridge a las trompetas, el trombonista Vic Dickenson, el saxofonista tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el guitarrista rítmico Freddie Green y el bajista Sam Jones. La música está muy en la onda de Count Basie, con solos decididos y concisos, junto con algunos buenos momentos para el líder.
