The sound of Jo Jones' drums defined the sound of swing: he brought the beat up from the bass drum into the drummer's hands, which took rhythm into the modern era. He expanded the drum kit's palette of accents, and forged a path for every drummer who has followed in his soft steps. His "ting-ta-ting" taps are ubiquitous, yet few listeners realize this is the sound Jo built.

Jones's elegant, propulsive groove laid the foundation for William "Count" Basie's breakout big band hits, such as "Tickle Toe," and "One O'Clock Jump." . Also not to be missed are the drummer's memorable small-group sessions with Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday and Lester Young, such as "I Can't Get Started" and "A Sailboat in the Moonlight."
