   What kind of drummer was John Jones?

   • He was a big band drummer mainly active in the 60s, in the spectacular, chops-intensive mode of Sonny Payne, Louis Bellson, Buddy Rich, et al, though Jones is clearly a sideman, a road guy, rather than a marquis name. Now, to me it's extremely weird to play a full-on drum corps style drum feature in the middle of very intimate piano trio music.
