BiographyEdit

Early careerEdit

As a child, Jones appeared as a featured tap dancer on The Kiddie Show on the Philadelphia radio station WIP.<ref name="NYT">Template:Cite news</ref> He was in the US Army during World War II.<ref name="NYT" />

In 1947 he became the house drummer at Café Society in New York City, where he played with the leading bebop players of the day, including Tadd Dameron. From 1955 to 1958, Jones toured and recorded with the Miles Davis Quintet – a band that became known as "the Quintet" (along with Red Garland on piano, John Coltrane on sax, and Paul Chambers on bass).<ref name=carr>Template:Cite book</ref> Davis acknowledged that Jones was his favorite drummer,<ref name=carr/> and stated in his autobiography that he would always listen for Jones in other drummers.

From 1958, Jones worked as a leader, but continued to work as a sideman with other musicians, including Bill Evans and Hank Mobley. Evans, like Davis, also openly stated that Jones was his all-time favorite drummer.
