Bobby Jones - "Stardust" - Ray McKinley and the Glenn Miller Orchestra
Музыка
Bobby Jones is the tenor sax player in the foreground, on the far left side of the bandstand. His solo begins at 1:10.
Bobby Jones (October 30, 1928, Louisville, Kentucky - March 6, 1980, Munich) was an American jazz saxophonist.
Jones played drums as a child and started on clarinet at age 8; his father encouraged him to explore jazz. He studied with Simeon Bellison, Joe Allard, Charlie Parker, and George Russell. He played with Ray McKinley from 1949 into the mid-1950s, and then with Hal McIntyre before rejoining McKinley later in the decade.
During a stint in the Army he met Nat and Cannonball Adderley as well as Junior Mance; after his discharge he played country music and rock & roll as a studio musician, and did time with Boots Randolph and Glenn Miller (1950) before returning again with McKinley from 1959 to 1963. He played briefly with Woody Herman and Jack Teagarden in 1963, and after Teagarden's death he retired to Lousiville and started a local jazz council there in addition to teaching at Kentucky State College. In 1969 he moved to New York City and played with Charles Mingus from 1970 to 1972, touring Europe and Japan with him. He also recorded sessions under his own name in 1972 and 1974.
Late in his life he moved to Germany, where he ceased performing due to emphysema. He died there in 1980.

Great band and good performance for CLASSIC SONG
In my opinion, Ray McKinley led the best G.M. ghost band of them all. It truly swung with very fine musicianship.

Mac of course "knew the book" inside out, having been an assistant conductor of the AAF band and then its de facto leader after the Major's disappearance. Also a lot of the sidemen were veterans of the Swing Era so they had the music in their blood as well. Check out the Scandinavian Miller band, led by Jan Slottenas. With all due respect to Nick's great work with the US edition, Jan sometimes seems to be channeling Miller himself.

Grand band and good performance at classic sond
I recognized Bobby Jones immediately. I met him when he played with Charles Mingus in Montréal - 1972. I organized a workshop with him for some my other musician friends - he gave us a lead sheet to a piece, "Thanks To Trade", on his latest recording called "The Arrival of Bobby Jones" He told me his most profitable years were in Cleveland (1960s?) when he taught clarinet to 140 students a week ~~~ (15min & 1/2 hr lessons).
I heard Bobby Jones in 1963 at NYC's great jazz club , The Metropole Cafe . First with Woody Herman's band and then , a short time later with Jack Teagarden's combo, also at The Metropole Cafe . Bobby was a great player .. both on Clarinet (with Teagarden) and tenor sax (with Woody)
