Randy Jones

British born drummer Randy Jones joined the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1978 after having played with such great as Maynard Ferguson, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Milt Jackson, Bill Watrous, Harry James, Cleo Laine, Tony Bennett, and Billy Eckstein. He has recorded numerous albums with the Dave Brubeck Quartet on the Telarc, MusicMasters, and Concord Jazz labels and has performed with the Quartet in the U.S., Japan, and Europe. Randy is noted as a versatile drummer, capable of swinging a big band, or dynamically weaving intricate patterns in the DBQ’s odd time signatures. An avid collector of classical recordings, his solos reflect that interest with an unusually strong sense of melodic form and compositional structure.
