Papa Jo Jones (1911-1985). Worked for Count Basie for 15 years. He essentially invented the use of brushes on drums. Notice how he uses the bass drum not for time keeping, but rather for accents.
It was the time when drummers smiled whatever the circumstances. Jo Jones is obviously enjoying every second of the moments spent with other musicians.
if you look at the like bar that just proves how good jo jones was and still is .
