SUMMARY:WILLIE JONES TRIO FEATURING HOUSTON PERSON
DESCRIPTION:Willie Jones III: \nWith an unparalleled style of rhythmic expression\, drummer Willie Jones III is one of the world’s leading jazz drummers. In addition to honoring his monumental influences – the late greats Philly Joe Jones\, Art Blakey and Billy Higgins – Jones’ bold articulation and constantly innovative sense of swing are results of his life-long musical experience. \nBorn in Los Angeles\, California on June 8\, 1968\, Jones’ earliest exposure to music was through his father\, Willie Jones II\, an accomplished and notable jazz pianist\, who offered guidance and inspiration to his gifted son. Dedicated to the further development of his skills\, the younger Jones spent the next few years working diligently with acclaimed drummers and music instructors and began performing with distinguished musicians by the time he was in his teens. He completed his academic training after receiving a full scholarship to the California Institute of the Arts where he studied under the tutelage of the legendary Albert “Tootie” Heath. Before he was a semifinalist in the 1992 Thelonious Monk Jazz Drum Competition\, Jones co-founded jazz band Black Note. Influenced by the rich soulful energy of the West Coast bop movement\, Black Note’s hard-swing sound propelled them to first place in the prestigious John Coltrane Young Artist Competition in 1991. \nNear the end of 1994\, while Jones was reaching for a higher level of drumming dexterity\, he gained the privilege of playing sideman to the renowned vibist Milt Jackson\, where Jones learned the importance of pacing and sensitivity. Meanwhile\, his musical career continued to unfold. \nFrom 1998-2005\, Jones was a member of Roy Hargrove’s Quintet and is featured on Roy Hargrove’s CD releases on Verve: Moment To Moment\, Hard Groove\, Nothing Serious and RH Factor’s Distractions. Jones can be heard on a host of recordings including Kurt Elling’s GRAMMY® nominated Night Moves (Concord) and Eric Reed’s Here (Max Jazz). Jones has worked with Sonny Rollins\, Ernestine Anderson\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Wynton Marsalis\, Cedar Walton\, Frank Wess\, the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band\, Houston Person\, Billy Childs\, Eric Reed\, Ryan Kisor\, Eric Alexander\, Bill Charlap\, Michael Brecker\, Herbie Hancock and Hank Jones. \nHouston Person: \nHouston Person\, born in Newberry\, South Carolina in 1934\, is the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons. In the more than twenty-five years that he has been a working bandleader\, Person has taken his music to most points on the globe. A travelling Jazzman in an era that has found that particular species a veritable rara avis\, Person does it all himself. He books his own tours\, hunts up the new clubs\, has the phone number of every major concert promoter on each continent and produces his own albums: truly the vertically integrated Jazzman. \nIf\, given all this\, he played mediocre tenor it would be easy to forgive him. But he doesn’t – he plays damn good tenor and it keeps getting better. One of the last proponents of the big sound\, his tone has gotten bigger even as his delivery has mellowed and rounded out. And\, of course\, with Person you are likely to hear almost anything in terms of repertoire. He has recorded disco and gospel\, pop and r&b in addition to his natural Jazz but beyond that he has an enormous and ever changing book. Nothing pedestrian or everyday for Person! \nHe grew up in Florence\, S.C.\, studied at the state college there\, was later named to the school’s Hall of Fame in 1999\, and continued his studies at Hartt College of Music in Hartford\, CT. Earlier\, in the U.S. Air Force\, he played with Don Ellis\, Eddie Harris\, Cedar Walton\, and Leo Wright. Contrary to popular belief\, he was never married to the late singer Etta Jones\, but did spend many years as her musical partner\, recording\, performing and touring. \nAlthough he has performed in the hard bop and swing genres\, he is most experienced in and best known for his work in soul Jazz. Person is also known for his distinctive sassy sound and his expressive style of playing. He received the Eubie Blake Jazz Award in 1982. \nHe has more than 75 albums under his own name on Prestige\, Westbound\, Mercury\, Savoy\, Muse\, and is currently with High Note Records. He has recorded with Charles Brown\, Charles Earland\, Lena Horne\, Etta Jones\, Lou Rawls\, Horace Silver\, Dakota Staton\, and more. \nHouston has deffine ideas about Jazz: “Well\, it’s uplifting and important. And a release and a relief. That’s what it is\, Jazz\, so called Jazz\, to me. It’s important that it’s relaxing. Something that when the end of the day comes\, after a hard and frustrating day out in the world\, that relieves you. Relaxes you and makes you feel good.” Person adds that all he wants is to give people “good solid melodies with some improvisation and plenty of blues feel.” He smiles\, “You always want that dance feeling there\, that happy\, happy feeling.”
