dova Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hello: Over the thenksgiving weekend, I hit a few records stores and ran across a "Rufus Jones" record on Cameo. I immediately got excited because I try and pickup recordings by drummers. Rufus Jones did one Lp and this is it. He is an unbelievable player with technique on the level of Buddy Rich. He recorded for Maynard Ferguson, Basie, and Ellington and also the drummer on other Cameo Lp's I have which are: Clark Terry (2), Maynard Ferguson (2).This Rufus Jones Lp has a stellar lineup. The only other Jazz Lp I know of put out by Cameo is a Teddy Wilson session. Are there any out there familiar with the Cameo label which I believe was based in Philly focusing on Pop fare and has anyone else ran across this Rufus Jones Lp?

JSngry Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Two Maynard Ferguson albums. One or two Clark Terry albums. Maybe a few otehr jazz things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montg Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Coincidentally, I was listening to Ellington's Far East Suite last night. I must have played it 100 times, but it's been awhile, and for the first time I really heard the drums and I was thinking "man this is great, much better than Woodyard, who is it?" Rufus Jones. Learn something new everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Excellent record, that Rufus Jones Cameo! Mentioned this in the 'Great Finds' thread when I came upon the album a couple of years ago: Rufus Jones Cameo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter A Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Go to the Both Sides Now website for the complete Parkway/Cameo discography. No other jazz records than the ones which are mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
