Jo Jones - he wasn't known as Jo Jones then, but he was Papa Jo, whether he realized it or I realized it. He had such a happy feeling. Whatever he played, if it was just one beat, it knocked me out, the way he did it. I wasn't into necessarily all that   rudimental brrrrrrrrrr - all of that. This guy was flashy, and the way he said what he said, that was it. How I met Kenny Clarke: he was introduced by one of the deejays at the same Sunday session - one of the Sunday sessions at the Ken Club. He was the last one to be introduced to the audience, Kenny Clarke. The deejay said, "If you want to know anything about this guy, ask Jo Jones. " When he said that, I had to love him automatically.
