Robert Elliot 'Jonah' Jones was an A-class trumpet player, a dynamic and surefooted soloist who expressed himself through Mainstream Jazz. Somewhat inspired by Louis Armstrong and Charlie Shavers, Jonah soon added to those influences his clarity of tone and logical phrasing. These 1954 Paris-New York sessions were recorded not long before he took his first steps on the road to commercial success fronting his own quartet.
The two French sessions are outstanding. The swinging Mr. Jones shares the solo spot with the powerful sound of Alix Combelles tenor sax, and the poignant, eloquent and unmistakable soprano sax of a jazz giant: Sidney Bechet. On the New York sextet sides, along Jonahs always-smiling trumpet and singing, shines the horn work of the two bones Vick Dickenson and Urbie Green, along with clarinetist Ed Hall. The overall feeling is that of the Swing Era.

Robert Elliot 'Jonah' Jones era un trompetista de clase A, un solista dinámico y seguro que se expresaba a través del Jazz Mainstream. Algo inspirado por Louis Armstrong y Charlie Shavers, Jonah pronto añadió a esas influencias su claridad de tono y su fraseo lógico. Estas sesiones de París-Nueva York de 1954 se grabaron poco antes de que diera sus primeros pasos en el camino del éxito comercial al frente de su propio cuarteto.
Las dos sesiones francesas son excepcionales. El oscilante Mr. Jones comparte el puesto de solista con el poderoso sonido del saxo tenor de Alix Combelles y el conmovedor, elocuente e inconfundible saxo soprano de un gigante del jazz: Sidney Bechet. En las caras del sexteto neoyorquino, junto a la siempre sonriente trompeta y el canto de Jonahs, brilla el trabajo de vientos de los dos huesos Vick Dickenson y Urbie Green, junto al clarinetista Ed Hall. La sensación general es la de la Era del Swing.
