MAC 1031
Roots renews Jones’ love for the sound that initially hooked him as a youngster: gospel music. “I grew up in church and was a singer,” Jones remembers. “I was in the choir and really didn’t know what I wanted to play other than I didn’t want it to be a saxophone because it seemed that’s what everyone else was playing. The drums were attractive, but my mother said she wasn’t having any of that. Then a teacher gave me two Miles Davis albums, Tutu and Kind of Blue. That was it for me, right there in the fifth grade. Believe it or not, I never really gravitated toward pop music. It was jazz, as well as gospel and maybe an occasional oldie. But it was something about the horn that hooked me immediately.”
