DESCRIPTION:
Jazz Drummer Timeline. A montage of influential jazz drummers. Their playing is synced with their pictures. This is an updated version. I left out Philly Jo Jones in the first one and felt I needed to include him. The timeline is chronological. This may be helpful to music history teachers. I know I had to learn this stuff in my jazz history class at Berklee College of Music. Enjoy!
