Drum Song


Drum Song is an album by drummer Philly Joe Jones which was recorded in 1978, at the same sessions that produced Advance!, but not released on the Galaxy label until 1985.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Hard bop is spoken here on this straightahead set. Drummer Philly Joe Jones is the leader but the main emphasis is on such soloists as trumpeter Blue Mitchell, the tenors of Harold Land and Charles Bowen, pianist Cedar Walton and trombonist Slide Hampton who arranged the four full-band numbers".
