When he made \"Soul Society,\" his impressive leaderdebut on record in 1960, Sam Jones (1924-1981) was best known as the bassist inthe Cannonball Adderley Quintet. But, like Oscar Pettiford, he also had celloin his armoury and used it effectively on Soul Society to showcase his ideasand assertive presence as a soloist. Surrounded by sympathetic, like-mindedmusicians, particularly the frontline soloists Blue Mitchell, Nat Adderley andJimmy Heath, he also had the benefit of a fine, responsive rhythm sectionanchored by Louis Hayes and the soulful Bobby Timmons.

On his second leader album, \"The Chant,\" from1961, Jones, again on bass and cello, fronts some middle-sized studio lineupswhich include an on-form Blue Mitchell and Jimmy Heath at his best. Four, aJimmy Heath arrangement, is played at precisely the right pace, with everyonecaught up in its compelling momentum. The tributes, to Oscar Pettiford on SonnyBoy, and Ray Brown on I Walked Ray, are excellent, and Jones carries the melodydelightfully on Blue Bird.

On 1962 \"Down Home\", the third album of this set,Jones features in two settings; a relatively large band arranged by ErnieWilkins, and a chamber-sized combo comprised of his cello with flute and arhythm section. Both swing lightly and engagingly, with Jones bass solos,direct, melodic and blues-flavoured, and his cello approach just as powerfuland imaginative.
