Frequently, Jones merged his broadcasting training with his musical historical expertise to promote New Orleans music in the station's playlist.

This, in turn, gained the attention and influenced the programming of numerous record companies and album-oriented rock and jazz broadcast outlets through the United States.

Jones also used Loyola's WLDC recording facilities in pioneering the taped oral history interviews of numerous New Orleans musicians from every period and style of New Orleans music.

The William Ransom Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane University now houses many of the interviews.

He was involved in the founding of New Orleans community radio station WWOZ-FM.

Jones also served as a consultant for multiple documentaries and films.
