 Jonah Jones Quartet | Jumpin with Jonah
Jones decided not to climb on the Be Bop train of the 1940's and 1950's, pretty much ignoring the new paths being struck by fellow trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.
Jones wisely doesn't try to copy Armstrong (he didn't have the equipment), instead relying on his understated form of vocalizing.
Jones was quite adept with the mute as on “The Blues Don't Care (Who's Got `Em)” distorting his bright shouting sound with raucous growls to create an exaggerated sense of the blues.

Well, though Jonah Jones and Louis "Pops" Armstrong were contemporaries, the comparisons stop there.
In fact, Jones noted Armstrong often as an influence, alongside Dizzy Gillespie and Bunny Berigan.
From the oddly quick pacing of "Slowly But Surely" to the plodding pops and rolling runs of "Night Train" and the stretched-out phrasing of "Just A Gigolo," Jones offers a variety of moods from mellow to madcap and shows why he is considered one of jazz’s most noteworthy nonagenarians.
