"Swingin' the Blues" 
Count Basie and his Orchestra, February 16,1938
Decca 1880
Papa Jo Jones, drums
​
This is a transcription of Papa Jo Jones' drumming on "Swingin' the Blues."
​
Of Note:
As with many of my big band transcriptions, I only notated the bass drum when I could hear a variation or accent. Otherwise, please assume the bass drum is feathering four beats to the bars when the bass player is walking.
