Randy Jones - drums

When British born Randy Jones first came to the United States, he received immediate critical recognition. He played with such jazz greats as Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Milt Jackson, Bill Watrous and Harry James. He was invited to join the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1979 and has remained with Dave ever since.

Jones started work as a drummer at the age of sixteen, touring Germany with an English rock and roll group. When the opportunity came to play jazz with the Maynard Ferguson Big Band, which was then based in England, he jumped at the chance. During the six years he was with Ferguson's band, he made numerous recordings and worked with such singing stars as Cleo Laine, Tony Bennett and Billy Eckstine.

He has recorded many albums with the Quartet on Telarc International, MusicMasters and Concord Jazz labels. He has toured with the Dave Brubeck Quartet throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan and has appeared with them on numerous TV shows in the US, Japan, and Europe. His most recent recordings for Telarc are "Classical Brubeck" and "Park Avenue South" and for Naxos, "The Gates of Justice"
