About the Event
Born and raised in closeby Richmond, Indiana, Harold Jones is one of the legends of the straight ahead style of big band drumming. He worked and toured with the Count Basie Orchestra for five years, cutting no less than 15 albums in that timespan, and went on to work for ten years with Sarah Vaughn, touring the world, and playing the White House five times "because she was Nancy Reagan's favorite singer," according to press releases. Harold Jones was also the drummer on Natalie Cole's famous album, Unforgettable, and toured with the show.
In 2001 he was on the staff for the Henry Mancini Institute at the University of California in Los Angeles, and performed on Quincy Jones' new CD, "Count Basie and Beyond," and Robbie Williams' "Swing When You're Winning." Currently Harold Jones leads drumming workshops at colleges and universities throughout the country.
