Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan, 1955 on EmArcy

Later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, this was Vaughan’s second self-titled LP, and her second studio album. The band also includes Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Roy Haynes on drums, Herbie Mann on flute, and Jimmy Jones on piano.

It was originally recorded December 18th, 1954, and released in 1955. What a masterful set of recordings.

My copy—via private sale—is the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue from 2021, on 180 gram vinyl, with a gatefold cover and an inner liner about the series and the role of Quality Record Pressing and Chad Kassem.

Illinois Jacquet - Swing's the Thing

1956 and Jacquet is making a great case for why Swing should get more respect. Just a whole lot of energetic fun, and when the tempo slows down, some beautiful ballad playing.

With Jacquet (tenor), Roy Eldridge (trumpet), Jimmy Jones (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Jo Jones—no, not Philly Joe Jones—on drums.

"Handy Man" is a song written by singer #JimmyJones and songwriter #OtisBlackwell. Recordings by #DelShannon and The Sparks Of Rhythm list Charles Merenstein as a co-writer, as does #BMI. The Sparks Of Rhythm version on the Apollo 541 single version released in 1959 credits Andrew Barksdale and Merenstein as writers, omitting Jimmy Jones. The song is noted for Jones singing "Come-a, come-a come-a come-a, come come-a, yeah", which is heard at the beginning.

"Good Timin'" was a #numberone single in the #UKSinglesChart during 1960, written by #FredTobias and #ClintBallardJr, and performed by #JimmyJones. In the U.S., the follow-up to "#HandyMan" went to number three on #Billboard #Hot100 chart and number eight on the R&B chart. The song extrapolates the historical encounters between #David and #Goliath and between #Columbus and #Isabella as reason enough for a boy to meet a girl.

Bessie Smith, Any Woman’s Blues, 1970 on Columbia

This is was the second in a series of five 2xLP releases on Columbia in 1970-1972 that covered Smith’s recordings for the label.

These recordings were made between September 1923 and March 1930, all recorded in New York. Piano by Fletcher Henderson, Clarence Williams, Irving Johns, James Price Johnson, and Jimmy Jones. Other musicians include Don Redman (clarinet), Eddie Lang (guitar), Garvin Bushnell (alto sax, clarinet, soprano sax), Ed Allen (cornet), Arville Harris (tenor sax), Cyrus St. Clair (tuba), Charlie Green (trombone), and Louis Bacon (trumpet).

Technical restoration by Larry Hiller and liner notes by Chris Albertson (author of Bessie).
