Blues For Dracula – Jones, Philly Joe – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

When both Miles Davis and
Bill Evans label you their
favorite drummer, you’re
granted immortality that
stretches even beyond the
lifespan of a vampire! But
legendary stickman Philly
Joe Jones gets it both ways
on the must-hear title track to
1958’s Blues for Dracula, on which he
does his best Bela Lugosi impression.
The personnel on this album further
attests to the soaring esteem in which
Jones was held by fellow jazz musicians;
imagine assembling a line-up of Johnny
Griffin, Jimmy Garrison, Julian Priester,
Nat Adderley, and Tommy Flanagan
on your first record as a bandleader! We’ve
resurrected this jazz classic for a dark “coffin
velvet” purple pressing limited to 750 copies.
Be boppin’ this Halloween!
