Philly Joe Jones' Trading 4s on Oleo (Bill Evans) - The Art of Jazz Drum Solo - Transcribed & Played

Welcome to a new episode in my ongoing series exploring jazz drumming through drum transcriptions and analytical listening. In this video, the focus shifts from the theme of Oleo to Philly Joe Jones’ solo and trading fours on Oleo, recorded with the Bill Evans Trio. This video is a direct continuation and complement to my previously released analysis of Oleo, in which I transcribed and performed the head and time-playing of the same recording. If you are interested in that perspective, you can also check out my video: “Oleo by Bill Evans - How Philly Joe Jones played it - Drum Transcription & Performance” 👉    • Oleo by Bill Evans - How Philly Joe Jones ...   The present video concentrates on the trading fours and solo sections, offering a closer look at how Philly Joe Jones constructs motivic development within a limited formal framework. Together, both analyses form a more complete picture of the drummer’s role across different musical functions within the same performance. “Oleo” is a composition by Sonny Rollins, written in 1954 and based on the chord changes of George Gershwin’s I Got Rhythm. It quickly became one of the most played Jazz Standards. The recording analyzed here comes from the album Everybody Digs Bill Evans, recorded on December 15, 1958, and released in 1959 on Riverside Records. The trio features Bill Evans on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. This was Evans’ second album as a bandleader and marked an important step in establishing his trio concept, balancing lyrical introspection with a strong sense of swing. Philly Joe Jones is most widely known for his work with the first classic Miles Davis Quintet, where his playing helped define the sound of jazz drumming. The trading fours on Oleo show a drummer who combines clarity, articulation with a deep sense of time. Rather than treating the solo space as a display of high virtuosity, Jones uses motivic ideas, clear phrasing, and dynamic control. My performance serves only to make the notation audible and readable and is not intended as a drum cover. As with all Drum Transcriptions on this channel, the notation presented here should be understood as an interpretation based on careful listening. Transcriptions are analytical tools, not definitive statements. Different drummers may hear, phrase, or interpret certain details differently, and that exchange of perspectives is an essential part of jazz education. For broader historical context, it is also worth noting that Oleo was first recorded in 1954 by Miles Davis, featuring Sonny Rollins on tenor saxophone, Horace Silver on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums. That earlier version contrasts strongly with the Bill Evans Trio recording analyzed here. 👉    • Oleo by Miles Davis & Sonny Rollins - How ...   The drum transcription for this video is available as a PDF on Patreon.
