Born  12 November 1924, Jacksonville, Florida, USA, died 15 December 1981.

A dependable bass-player, cellist and composer of some fine tunes, Jones never achieved the kind of critical esteem which was accorded other players whose reputations were built during the 50s. The under-estimation of Jones's talent is surprising in view of his contribution to a number of excellent bands, including those of Cannonball Adderley (1955-56 and 1959-66), Oscar Peterson (1966-69) and Cedar Walton from 1971. His partnerships with Billy Higgins (in Walton's trio) and Louis Hayes (with Adderley and Peterson) were models of the imaginative support that a good modern, mainstream rhythm section should provide. Jones also worked with Tiny Bradshaw , Illinois Jacquet, Kenny Dorham ,Thelonoious Monk, Clark Terry Bill Evans, and Johnny Hodges In the 10 years before his death he freelanced and led a big band.
