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

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
