   About Leroy Jones
Born in New Orleans in 1958, Leroy began studying the trumpet at age 10, in school band. By the time he was 13 years old, he was already playing gigs and leading Danny Barker's young Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band. The Fairview Band performed at church events, Social & Pleasure Club events, Funerals, and Second Line Parades all over the city of New Orleans. The band has performed at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Smithsonian Institute Festival of Culture & Folklore. The Fairview band later evolved into the Hurricane Brass Band, which became the seed of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Leroy Jones was a significant figure amongst the new breed of aspiring young musicians participating in Barker's renaissance of New Orleans brass bands.

After a brief stint in the Jazz Studies Program at Loyola University's Conservatory of Music, Jones joined the musicians union and went on to pursue his career as a professional musician. He has played with nearly all the famous jazz bands in town, and has performed at festivals and clubs throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, Japan and Australia.

The past decade Jones has been a member of the Harry Connick, Jr. Big Band, performed on numerous recordings with various artists, leads one of the Preservation Hall Jazz Bands and has released several acclaimed solo albums. Jones continues to travel and record the world over.

Leroy Jones Quintet

The Leroy Jones Quintet was formed during the 1980s. But the band's first real international exposure came when it was the opening act for Harry Connick, Jr.'s "She" tour. The Quintet has toured the United States, Canada, South America and Australia. After releasing two critically acclaimed recordings on the Columbia label, the band toured on it's own, performing at festivals and club dates throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and has appeared on NBC's "Tonight Show". The quintet has also made numerous appearances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

The Leroy Jones Quintet performs an energetic swing style that encompasses both old and new jazz idioms.

Hi Leroy! I hope to see you in Silkeborg. When are you going back? If you are in the city on saturday you should stop by Rampelys around midnight where I have a concert with my trio & a lot of friends on stage. You are very welcome!!! I would love to hear you again, but I have to work in Copenhagen friday. By the way check out my first bigband-arrangements here on myspace. They are very influenced by New Orleans, you, Harry, Shannon and all the rest of the cats:-) I hope to see you before you go back. Love from Peter

Hey Leroy, and thank you for your feedback! It was great to get to play with you again. Your new CD is excellent as I said - just beautiful playing, no fuss; it takes a different kind of musical understanding and vision to be able to play like that, with so much emotional power. See you soon!
