Editor’s Preface

Introduction: The Musical Life of Papa Jo Jones Paul Devlin


Rifftide

I Have Had a Varied Life
Can’t Nobody Tell Me One Inch about Show Business
The Count Basie Institution
They Said the Negro Would Never Be Free
My Thirst after Knowledge Will Never Cease
People I’ve Rubbed Elbows With
I Often Wondered Why I Was Such a Strange Fella

Afterword: The Persistence of Papa Jo Jones Phil Schaap
