Here’s a drum transcription of Philly Joe Jones’ trading fours on Miles Davis’ “Sid’s Ahead,” from the classic 1958 album Milestones. On this track, Davis plays both trumpet and piano. The album also marks the final recording with Philly Joe Jones, Red Garland, and Paul Chambers as Davis’ rhythm section.
“Sid’s Ahead” is an original Miles Davis composition in a 12-bar blues form. The title pays tribute to New York City disc jockey Symphony Sid Torin. Philly Joe Jones trades four-bar phrases with the band over three choruses, with an eight-bar drum break in the final chorus before returning to the head.
