Darryl Jones with the Stones

[xroads]

I was watching the Stones Cuba concert (Havana Moon) and was highly impressed with Darryl's contribution to the overall sound of the band. He brings an astonishing drive to the music, and holds everything together. Amazing sound (thick and thunderous), and amazing sense of rhythm. Hats off!!

Does anyone know what else DJ is working on these days?

...don't know.
Always dug his early stuff with Miles, Sting, & Scofield.
Fact is, just finished listening to "Tea In The Sahara" from Sting's Bring On The Night. Check it out.

I saw Darryl Jones live with Oz Noy a few years back. In comparison with his playing with Miles and Sting ( which I absolutely loved ) his playing with Oz was completely different. He played fingerstyle the entire time and didn't slap one note. That's not saying his playing with Mr. Noy was bad ( it was excellent ) but it was a completely different approach than when he was younger. I would have liked if he'd slapped just a little. I'm guessing his Stones gig pays much better than Oz Noy.

Here he is with Oz Noy at NAMM 2013. The drummer is Steve Ferrone of both Average White Band and Tommy Petty fame. The show I saw was super awesome. Darryl had a white Ampeg amp and cabinet when I saw him. If you get a chance to see these guys live do it! Funk/Fusion with an emphasis on funk.

It's not listed as such on YouTube but the title on this one is Get Down.

Oz Noy is a great resource for killer trios with a great rhythm section!

Darryl's out in Japan and Australia with The Miles Davis Electric Band right now, a tribute group with a few people that worked with Miles. Before that he was involved with a Monk tribute act that performed in Korea. He's got a movie project documentary going that will be his biography, and he's working on his own line of basses as well. I understand that he still plays one-nighters at Jazz clubs locally in Chicago.

I have always been a fan of his playing, but wow, what an intelligent, articulate, centered person. He really has parlayed his skill, awareness, ability to network and get along with people into some great gigs and an amazing career.

I just watched The Stones' "Olé Olé Olé! A Trip Across Latin America" documentary – which includes a small portion of the Cuba show – for the first time , and Darryl lays down some very sweet stuff. Of course, he only appears on camera for about 44 seconds in total – due mostly to editing accidents – but it was truly a joy to listen to him.
