Boogaloo Joe Jones

About Me

In the short decade he recorded and performed (1966-78), guitarist Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones never really got his due as an exciting, rapid-fire R & B plecterist. His sound and style clearly derived from the blues. But it was a solid understanding of rock that Jones brought to his style of jazz. The result, outlined on a handful of Prestige albums, was a healthy mix of finger-licking funk, sweet-natured soul and infectious blues -Doug Payne
