About Leroy Jones
Preservation Hall’s biography traces Jones from the Seventh Ward and the Fairview Baptist Church Marching Band into the Hurricane Brass Band and a professional trumpet career. It anchors his work directly in New Orleans musical history.[1]
The profile separates brass-band beginnings, orchestra work, leader recordings, and teaching. Preservation Hall and New Orleans cultural archives provide authorized performance and biographical context without turning every collaboration into a standing group.[2]
Fairview and Hurricane bands
The biography connects Jones’s youth-band experience to his own early brass band.[1]
Leader trumpet
Preservation Hall documents Jones as a trumpeter and composer under his own name.[1]
New Orleans education
The profile records his role in passing the city’s brass and jazz practices forward.[2]
