Kevin Jones is a percussionist, bandleader, producer, and educator from Englewood, New Jersey. Growing up surrounded by jazz, soul, gospel, and blues greats like Charlie Parker and Mahalia Jackson, his musical roots run deep—his grandmother reportedly played with Bessie Smith. Kevin honed his percussion skills learning from street musicians, absorbing the styles of master drummers in his neighborhood.
At 10, he gravitated toward hand drums, inspired by local drummers who played on front lawns and park benches. These early experiences shaped his playing, earning respect from artists like the Isley Brothers and Whitney Houston. On September 18, Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe presented his performance, delivering his unique percussive sound live to the audience.
