Born Johnny Jones, the singer picked up his enduring nickname from his pal Fats Domino when they were both playing at the Hideaway Club in the ninth ward during the late '40s. Fats kept him employed as a warm-up act until 1961. This set accurately recreates the Crescent City R&B sound of the '50s, thanks to Little Sonny Jones's rich singing and the efforts of veterans Dave "Fat Man" Williams on piano and vocals, saxists Clarence Ford and David Lastie, guitarist Justin Adams, bassist Frank Fields, and drummer Robert French. Jones came out to play the annual Jazz & Heritage Festival until his 1989 death of heart failure, at the age of 58. This CD was recorded in 1975.
