A member
of the New Orleans Jazz Hall of Fame, Jones was leader at the tender age of 12,
of the seminal Fairview Band, a brass band whose alumni have included some of the
best-known musicians in New Orleans. It was the Fairview Brass Band that is
widely credited with restoring interest in the brass band tradition of New
Orleans. Today, in fact, New Orleans has more brass bands performing than at
any time in the city's history an achievement that can be traced back
directly to the Fairview Band and its successor the Leroy Jones Hurricane Brass
Brand.

A
regular performer at Preservation Hall in New Orleans and a featured performer
in the Harry Connick Jr Orchestra, where his playing and singing have made him
a crowd favorite, Leroy has performed on every continent and in every major
U.S. city at prestigious theaters, festivals and jazz clubs like the Village
Vanguard in New York City. His television appearances include The Tonight Show,
Good Morning America, Late Night with David Letterman, The Today Show, Arsenio
Hall, Conan O'Brien and Oprah Winfrey. He is also a regular at the world famous
New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, as well as French Quarter Fest and the
Satchmo Summerfest.
