“Four“ is a 1954 jazz standard. It was first recorded in 1954 by Miles Davis and released on his album Miles Davis Quartet. It is a 32-bar ABAC form. The song composition officially credits Miles Davis as the writer. However, there is some controversy that it may have actually been composed by someone else. The American jazz saxophonist Eddie “Cleanhead“ Vinson has claimed ownership for the song,[4] although it was originally credited to jazz trumpeter Miles Davis. Joseph Rudolph “Philly Joe“ Jones (July 15, 1923 – August 30, 1985) was an American jazz drummer, known as the drummer for the first “Great“ Miles Davis Quintet. He should not be confused with “Papa“ Jo Jones, another drummer who had a long tenure with Count Basie. The two men died only a few days apart. Roach ( ​ ) Joe Jones ( ​ ) Payne ( ​ ) M
