Peak value or career value?Peak value: Frank Butler before drugs and prison
(the Curtis Counce LPs and others)Career Value: Elvin Jones--still going strong.
But I understand your love of Shelley Manne--he's in my top 10 for sure along with Blakey, Roach, Stan Levey, Philly Joe Jones, Gene Krupa (gotta have swing guy and I HATED Buddy Rich as a person, so I leave him out!), Chico Hamilton, and Billy Higgins.
The odd man out of the top 10? Jo Jones.
