Solo played by Evan Hughes

This is a six-page in-depth drum transcription of Philly Joe Jones including what he plays to accompany the in and out melodies, as well as his playing on the "shout chorus," which features him.
-- Eight-measure drum solo intro
-- horn melodies are shown above the drum staff
-- AABA in melody
-- Philly Joe's playing behind eight bars of Hank Mobley's first solo chorus
-- After three Hank Mobley solo choruses and two Donald Byrd solo choruses, it's pianist Herbie Hancock's turn. This is a 32-measure AABA composition with the same format for solo choruses. The concert chord progression is "rhythm changes" in B-flat for the A sections and "rhythm changes" in E-flat for the B section.

A quirky and playful song, Old World, New Imports features some of Philly Joe's best playing. His time is simply incredible, always smooth and swinging. Take particular note of how he plays through the melody, especially the moments where he goes off the ride cymbals and plays the melody around the kit. Also, note how much he references the melody and the "vibe" of the song in his drum solo.

The transcription outlines the entire recorded track. It starts with Philly Joe's eight-measure solo which sets up the melody.
