Two Bass Hit starts with a 16-bar drum solo with accompanying horn hits before John Coltrane takes the first blowing choruses. The drum solo is short, and is packed with Philly Joe Jones’ classic phrases. It is clean, rhythmically precise, and easy to hear, making it a great solo to learn and memorize. Even if you can’t get it up to the full speed of the recording initially, the ideas will sound great at slower tempos.
