Reginald Jones

Bassist Reginald Jones originates from the same prolonged music family whose most well-known member was cousin Roy Eldridge, among the great jazz trumpeters. The bassist, who also turns up acknowledged as Reg Jones and Reggie Jones, acquired even more musical brethren, including Reunald Jones Sr., just one more trumpeter, who begat a kid, Reunald Jones Jr., who implemented in his father’s footsteps — or even more properly mouthpiece dribblings — and in addition became a trumpeter. Another sibling, Leopold Jones, was also a specialist musician, although therefore little information is available about him that it’s tough to determine also what device he played. That is fortunately false for Reginald Jones , whose basslines empowered cooking food R&B edges by Joe Houston with provocative game titles such as for example “Earthquake,” “Cornbread and Cabbage,” and “Goofin’.” Reginald Jones began with the brand new Orleans jazz audio, playing both tuba and bass with Louis Armstrong in the ’20s during among that trumpeter’s incursions north into Chicago. The bassist shouldn’t be baffled with an associate of the different Jones tribe, Reginald Wizard Jones, a multi-instrumentalist, manufacturer, and songwriter who collaborated frequently with soulman William Bell. Mistaken credits have already been created without also leaving the family members, nevertheless, as some discographers believe the bassist and dad and kid trumpeters are the same people, predicated on the assumption which the name “Reunald” couldn’t perhaps exist, looking since it will like some type of accident within a typesetting tray.
