Harold Jones was born and raised in Richmond, Indiana and attended the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago on a scholarship, then took work where he could find it, including theaters and night clubs. In 1962 as a young member of the Paul Winter Sextet he played at the White House playing for the Kennedys. In 1967, he was invited to New York for what was intended to be a two-week engagement with Count Basie's orchestra but which lasted five years. Jones played on fifteen albums with Basie.
