NOLA Life with Ron Jones: New Orleans, Louisiana, United States; Ronald Jones- drummer, pianist, vocalist, composer and record producer- was born in New Orleans’ 7th ward near Treme. Raised in a musical family, Jones grew up listening to songs written and produced by his father, Joe Jones who composed and recorded the New Orleans classic hit, “You Talk Too Much.” Additionally, the elder Jones launched the careers of The Dixie Cups (Chapel of Love/ Iko Iko), Aaron Neville (Tell It Like It Is) and Alvin “Shine” Robertson (Something You Got). The Jones household was a musical haven frequented with jam sessions including legendary New Orleans artists Professor Longhair, James Booker, Jessie “Ooh Poo Pa Doo” Hill and many others. A self-proclaimed “musical chameleon,” Jones is stylistically versed in many different genres and his musical background is diversified from Jazz to R&B, Standards, Soul, classic New Orleans R&B, traditional New Orleans Jazz, Country, Rock & Roll, Zydeco, Blues, Motown and Funk.
