With an unparalleled style of rhythmic expression, drummer Willie Jones III is one of the world's leading jazz drummers. In addition to honoring his monumental influences - the late greats Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey, and Billy Higgins - Jones' bold articulation and constantly innovative sense of swing are results of his life-long musical experience. He studied under the tutelage of the legendary Albert "Tootie" Heath, co-founded the jazz band Black Note, and in 1992 was a semifinalist in the 1992 Thelonious Monk Jazz Drum Competition. He has since performed and recorded with Milt Jackson, Arturo Sandoval, Horace Silver, Roy Hargrove, Eric Reed, Cedar Walton, Wynton Marsalis, Sonny Rollins, Ernestine Anderson, Frank Wess, Bobby Hutcherson, Billy Childs, the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band, Houston Person, Herbie Hancock, and Hank Jones. In 2000, Jones released his debut CD, Vol 1...Straight Swinging' on his own label, WJ3 Records. He continues to reveal his proficiency as a composer as well as a producer on Vol II...Don't Knock the Swing (2002; Volume III (2007), We 2 (2008), a trombone and piano recording featuring Wycliffe Gordon and Eric Reed; and Jones' latest release The Next Phase (2010). williejones3.com @straightswingin68
