Artist Biography by Richie Unterberger
Not
to be confused with Philly Joe Jones, guitarist Ivan Joseph "Boogaloo
Joe" Jones recorded several albums in a soul-jazz vein for Prestige in
the late '60s and early '70s. In addition to leading his own group for
recording purposes, Jones also played with Wild Bill Davis, Houston
Person, and Willis Jackson. His own dates are solid, if unexceptional
groove jazz, leaving plenty of space for the saxes and organ, as well as
his own bop/R&B hybrid style. Rusty Bryant, Charles Earland, and
ace soul and jazz session drummer Bernard Purdie are among the sidemen
also featured on Boogaloo's albums.

Artist Biography by Douglas Payne
In
the short decade (1966-78) he recorded and performed, guitarist Ivan
"Boogaloo Joe" Jones was never really given his due as an exciting,
rapid-fire R&B plecterist. His sound and style clearly derived from
the blues. But it was a solid understanding of rock that Jones brought
to his style of jazz. The result, outlined on a handful of albums for
Prestige, was a healthy mix of finger-licking funk, sweet-natured soul
and infectious blues.
Born
Ivan Joseph Jones on November 1, 1940, Boogaloo Joe Jones learned the
guitar himself on a three-string instrument that he received as a gift
from his father in 1956. He was influenced most by Tal Farlow and Billy
Butler, but gravitated toward the R&B juke-joint jazz Butler was
popularizing with organist Bill Doggett's popular group. Jones has lived
in South New Jersey most of his life and mostly worked in and around
the Atlantic City area with chitlin-circuit heroes like Wild Bill Davis,
Willis Jackson and Charlie Ventura.
"Right
On Brother"He made his solo debut as "Joe Jones" on Prestige Records in
1967, but earned the name "Boogaloo Joe" following a 1969 record of
that title. The demeaning name was meant to distinguish him from the
other Jo(e) Jones in music: Papa Jo, Philly Joe, and the Joe of the
Fluxus movement. But as much as the moniker suited his style it probably
straightjacketed his jazz career too. Later, he'd turn to billing
himself as Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones.
While
jazz went through some drastic changes during the dozen years of his
recording career, Jones’ sound and style stayed remarkably consistent.
His twangy tone coupled catchy chordal vamps with astonishing rapid-fire
single-note playing. He could handle familiar pop covers ("Light My
Fire," "Have You Never Been Mellow") and ballads. But he really excelled
in the jazz-funk groove and proved himself a first-rate blues player.
"My
Fire!"None of his albums are groundbreaking or marked by individual
achievements. But every Joe Jones record contains reliably interesting
covers (blues like "St. James Infirmary" and "Trouble In Mind" are the
best) and percolating originals that aptly illustrate the guitarist's
fretboard talents: "Right Now," "Ivan The Terrible," "Boogaloo Joe,"
"6:30 Blues," "Poppin," "Hoochie Coo Chickie," "Black Whip," "Confusion"
and "Sweetback." These are the songs that today's club crowd discovered
and celebrate as the cornerstone of "acid jazz."
Ivan
Jones recorded with Groove Holmes, Houston Person, Rusty Bryant, Harold
Mabern and, most notably, Willis Jackson. Jones, who never won the
notice of critics or great support from fans during his career, is
finding new life on CD -- thanks to the apt and rapt attention of the
acid-jazz crowd. Today, the retired guitarist is believed to reside in
his hometown of Vineland, New Jersey.

Biografía del artista por Richie Unterberger
No
confundir con Philly Joe Jones, el guitarrista Ivan Joseph "Boogaloo
Joe" Jones grabó varios álbumes en una vena de soul-jazz para Prestige a
finales de los'60 y principios de los'70. Además de dirigir su propio
grupo con fines de grabación, Jones también tocó con Wild Bill Davis,
Houston Person y Willis Jackson. Sus propias fechas son sólidas, aunque
no excepcionales, y dejan mucho espacio para los saxos y el órgano, así
como su propio estilo híbrido de bop/R&B. Rusty Bryant, Charles
Earland, y el baterista de soul y jazz Bernard Purdie son algunos de los
sidemen que también aparecen en los álbumes de Boogaloo.

Biografía del artista por Douglas Payne
En
la corta década (1966-78) grabó y tocó, el guitarrista Ivan "Boogaloo
Joe" Jones nunca fue realmente reconocido como un apasionante y rápido
plecterista de R&B. Su sonido y estilo derivan claramente del blues.
Pero fue una sólida comprensión del rock lo que Jones aportó a su
estilo de jazz. El resultado, esbozado en un puñado de álbumes para
Prestige, fue una saludable mezcla de funk para chuparse los dedos, soul
dulce y blues contagioso.
Nacido
Ivan Joseph Jones el 1 de noviembre de 1940, Boogaloo Joe Jones
aprendió la guitarra él mismo en un instrumento de tres cuerdas que
recibió como regalo de su padre en 1956. Fue influenciado por Tal Farlow
y Billy Butler, pero se inclinó por el jazz R&B juke-joint Butler
se estaba popularizando con el grupo popular del organista Bill Doggett.
Jones ha vivido en el sur de Nueva Jersey la mayor parte de su vida y
ha trabajado principalmente en el área de Atlantic City y sus
alrededores con héroes del circuito de chitlin como Wild Bill Davis,
Willis Jackson y Charlie Ventura.
"Right
On Brother" debutó en solitario como "Joe Jones" en Prestige Records en
1967, pero se ganó el nombre de "Boogaloo Joe" tras un disco de 1969
con ese título. El nombre degradante tenía la intención de distinguirlo
del otro Jo(e) Jones en la música: Papa Jo, Philly Joe, y el Joe del
movimiento Fluxus. Pero por mucho que el apodo se adaptara a su estilo,
probablemente también enderezó su carrera de jazz. Más tarde, se
convertiría en Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones.
Mientras
que el jazz pasó por algunos cambios drásticos durante los doce años de
su carrera discográfica, el sonido y el estilo de Jones se mantuvieron
notablemente consistentes. Su tono twangy unía a pegadizos vampiros
cordales con una asombrosa y rápida interpretación de una sola nota.
Podía manejar las conocidas portadas pop ("Light My Fire", "Have You
Never Been Mellow") y baladas. Pero realmente sobresalió en el groove
del jazz-funk y demostró ser un bluesista de primera clase.
"¡Mi
fuego!" Ninguno de sus álbumes es innovador o está marcado por logros
individuales. Pero todos los discos de Joe Jones contienen portadas
fiables e interesantes (blues como "St. James Infirmary" y "Trouble In
Mind" son los mejores) y originales percolantes que ilustran a la
perfección los talentos del guitarrista en el diapasón: "Ahora mismo",
"Ivan el Terrible", "Boogaloo Joe", "6:30 Blues", "Poppin", "Hoochie Coo
Chickie", "Black Whip", "Confusión" y "Sweetback". Estas son las
canciones que la gente del club de hoy descubrió y celebra como la
piedra angular del "acid jazz".
Ivan
Jones grabó con Groove Holmes, Houston Person, Rusty Bryant, Harold
Mabern y, sobre todo, Willis Jackson. Jones, que nunca se ganó la
atención de los críticos o el gran apoyo de los fans durante su carrera,
está encontrando una nueva vida en el CD - gracias a la atención apta y
cautivada de la multitud del acid jazz. Hoy en día, se cree que el
guitarrista jubilado reside en su ciudad natal de Vineland, Nueva
Jersey.
