“My real foundation came from Joe Morris’s rhythm and blues band. It had two books, the rhythm and blues book and a good, swinging book. I really got my power in this band.
When you have eight fellows and four of them are soloists, you play a shuffle at bright tempos… that makes your hands really strong.”
– Philly Joe Jones, Down Beat Magazine, March 1959
