Reviews
"Jo Jones, an elegant, swinging dude, always had a style of his own. When he was with us, you could hear him, feel him-everything was right there." -Count Basie, "Jo Jones, an elegant, swinging dude, always had a style of his own. When he was with us, you could hear him, feel him--everything was right there." --Count Basie, "Albert Murray has helped keep the incomparable Jo Jones alive through the voice of Count Basie in Good Morning Blues and fictionally in The Magic Keys, but in Rifftide , thanks to the persistence of editor Paul Devlin, we get to hear Jo himself in all his dynamic, adrenalized, anecdotal, no-bull glory-riffing with words as heartily as he did on the hi-hat." -Gary Giddins, author of Warning Shadows and Jazz, "Albert Murray has helped keep the incomparable Jo Jones alive through the voice of Count Basie in Good Morning Blues and fictionally in The Magic Keys, but in Rifftide , thanks to the persistence of editor Paul Devlin, we get to hear Jo himself in all his dynamic, adrenalized, anecdotal, no-bull glory--riffing with words as heartily as he did on the hi-hat." --Gary Giddins, author of Warning Shadows and Jazz, "Papa Jo Jones is Brer Rabbit with a drum kit and opposable thumbs. In his own spellbinding voice, musical history and philosophy come alive on the page." -Mat Johnson, author of Pym, "I first met Jo Jones at the RKO Theater in Boston when I was a teenager in the early 1940s and we were friends until he passed away. He was my first influence and my major influence. He was 'Papa' Jo to me before they gave him that title. He was like a father to me. For drummers of my generation, Jo was the president of the drums just like Lester Young was president of the tenor saxophone. Jo loved to talk, and when he spoke it was almost as if he was playing the drums: you'd give him your undivided attention. Rifftide conveys a fine sense of his voice and the larger than life dimensions of his personality." -Roy Haynes, " Rifftide is a gem of a book about one of the forgotten founding fathers of Swing. Jo Jones was more than a jazz genius-he was also one of the great characters and chroniclers of American life during the Swing Era. Based on extensive oral interviews and years of painstaking research, Rifftide is a terrific source not only for students of jazz, but also American history, African-American studies, linguistics, and sociology. " -Debby Applegate, author of The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher, "I first met Jo Jones at the RKO Theater in Boston when I was a teenager in the early 1940s and we were friends until he passed away. He was my first influence and my major influence. He was 'Papa' Jo to me before they gave him that title. He was like a father to me. For drummers of my generation, Jo was the president of the drums just like Lester Young was president of the tenor saxophone. Jo loved to talk, and when he spoke it was almost as if he was playing the drums: you'd give him your undivided attention. Rifftide conveys a fine sense of his voice and the larger than life dimensions of his personality." --Roy Haynes

WOW! The condition is incredible for the price I paid - I thank the seller for accepting my offer as I'm poor and need all the help I can get in obtaining the more expensive otogizoshi & other medieval & ancient Japanese Literature that I'm looking for, so this seller really was generous with the price and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Packaged super safe, really fast shipping, and the book is like new, so much better than the Ad's description! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SELLER FOR SURE!!

Book arrived earlier than expected and was packaged well. Book was in better condition than described and seller was very helpful when I had questions. Best of all, price was extremely reasonable. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had with any seller on Ebay.
