Description

U.S. pressing of The Jones Boys, a rare Everest Records ensemble session featuring six jazz greats who share the Jones surname — Quincy Jones, Thad Jones, Jimmy Jones, Jo Jones, Eddie Jones, and Elvin Jones.

Originally recorded in New York in 1956–57, this release was reissued in 1973 as part of Everest’s Archive of Folk & Jazz Music series. The album blends bop, swing, and modern jazz textures, with arrangements that highlight each player’s unique style while celebrating their collective legacy.

Notable features:

  • Quincy Jones leads and arranges several tracks

  • Thad Jones contributes original compositions

  • Whisper Not arranged by Quincy, written by Benny Golson

  • Jo and Elvin Jones trade rhythmic approaches across tracks

A collector‑grade ensemble session for fans of mid‑century jazz, Everest reissues, and rare collaborative lineups.
