This is very cool...he puts down the drumsticks and plays the kit like a large set of handrums...then pics up the sticks again and rocks it out! Papa Jo Jones has played with Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Elle Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Lester Young, Lionel Hampton, Roy Eldridge, Chuck Berry, Buddy Tate, Benny Goodman, John Coltrane...

    Those were the days when Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.

    No wonder why Buddy always told young players to check out Jo Jones.

    this video makes me rethink my whole life and decision to be a drummer.  I am either going to step it up, or step out.

    It is not just impressive that he plays with his hands, it is that so many have done it since, including John Bohnham and nothing sounds as good as Papa Joe.

    He was never underrated by us older drummers who didnt rely on ten tom toms

    and double bass pedals and as much noise as you can make to get the

    audience screaming !!

    One of the most underrated drummers ever! Papa Jo has influenced many of the drummers that today's drummers call influences. And with that smile you can tell he truly enjoyed playing. Awesome!
