The Jones Boys • The Jones Boys

Review by Ken Dryden

The Jones Boys was a session conceived by Leonard Feather featuring a number of musicians named "Jones," though none of them are related. This session, originally recorded for Period and reissued as a part of Fantasy's Original Jazz Classics limited-edition series, has a rhythm section consisting of pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Eddie Jones, and drummer Jo Jones. Thad Jones' muted trumpet carries a swinging version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "No Other Love," followed by a lush interpretation of "You Leave Me Breathless" and the trumpeter's tasty original "Blues for the Joneses." The somewhat obscure trumpeter Reunald Jones (best known for his section work in the bands of Count Basie, Chick Webb, and Don Redman) and Quincy Jones (heard on flügelhorn) join Thad Jones on several selections, including Quincy's fireworks-filled "The Jones Bash" and the funky blues "Jones Beach." This very desirable CD should be snapped up before it becomes a collector's item once more.

Revisión por Ken Dryden

The Jones Boys fue una sesión concebida por Leonard Feather con varios músicos llamados "Jones", aunque ninguno de ellos está relacionado. Esta sesión, grabada originalmente para Period y reeditada como parte de la serie de edición limitada Fantasy's Original Jazz Classics, tiene una sección rítmica compuesta por el pianista Jimmy Jones, el bajista Eddie Jones y el baterista Jo Jones. La silenciosa trompeta de Thad Jones contiene una versión oscilante de "No Other Love" de Rodgers & Hammerstein, seguida de una interpretación exuberante de "You Leave Me Breathless" y el sabroso "Blues for the Joneses" original del trompetista. El trompetista un tanto oscuro Reunald Jones (mejor conocido por su trabajo de sección en las bandas de Count Basie, Chick Webb y Don Redman) y Quincy Jones (escuchado en flügelhorn) se unen a Thad Jones en varias selecciones, incluido el fuego de Quincy "The Jones Bash "y el funky blues" Jones Beach ". Este muy deseable CD se debe agregar antes de que se convierta en un objeto de colección una vez más.
