Timeline

1931

One of the most accomplished and influential drummers of the swing era, Jonathan 'Papa Jo' Jones was schooled in Alabama, becoming proficient at playing piano, trumpet and saxophone by the age of ten. Leaving home, he worked as a singer and tap dancer in travelling medicine shows and in vaudeville, eventually taking up drums. During his late teens, he played jazz in territory bands, including Walter Page's 'Blue Devils', Harold Jones' Brownskin Syncopators (1931) and Lloyd Hunter's Serenaders (to 1933).

1934

Jones settled in Kansas City by 1934 and became acquainted with Bill Basie, who had not yet changed his moniker to Count Basie.

1936

Jones was soon employed as a drummer in Basie's band, on and off until the autumn of 1936, when he became a permanent fixture. Along with Page and Basie, he became an integral part of what was often referred to as the 'All-American Rhythm Section'. An innovative musician, he changed traditional perspectives by favoring the use of brushes and by making the hi hat cymbal, rather than the bass drum, the dominant time keeping instrument at his disposal.

1948

Jones remained with Basie until February 1948, a tenure only interrupted by a period of military service between 1944 and 1946. His subsequent free-lance work included nationwide and European tours with Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic', as well as stints with smaller swing/bop combos led by Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt and Joe Bushkin.

1990

Inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1990.
