Here's another take on Philly Joe's solo on "Two Bass Hit". The best known version, of course, comes from Miles Davis' 1958 album Milestones, which is arguably the pinnacle of his first great quintet (though by this point it was a sextet with Cannonball). But just over a year later, Philly Joe released Philly Joe's Beat under his own name, and re-recorded "Two Bass Hit" with a different band. Some of the vocabulary in the head is similar and at times even identical to the Milestones recording, but the famous drum break just before the solo section is markedly different, despite containing plenty of Philly Joe-isms. As usual, stickings are my best guess and what I would likely play, but do with it what you will.
