THE STORY OF MUDFOOT JONES
Born Maurice Jones in the Bayou of Louisiana, he got the name he is most known for from being heavy on the bass drum, when he played the drums. He plays almost any instrument and sings a little too.
One day at BB King's rehearsal, BB called out,"Hey Mudfoot! Can you turn it down some, son!". And the name "Mudfoot" stuck to him like glue. Since then he has played various instruments with everybody from John Lee Hooker to Herbie Mann. Traveled the world many times over, as a legendary sideman with just about everybody who's somebody.
Early last year on a flight to Japan, Teddy Douglas (a big Mudfoot fan) traveling to DJ Gigs in Japan, just happened to be seated next to Mudfoot (also headed to Japan for gigs). Fate was working it's magic on that flight! It took 12 hours to convince Mudfoot to record an album with the Basement Boys. It would be his first time solo album. With writing and producing from the Basement Boys, the collaboration is a magical mix of Blues, Jazz, Gospel, and Latin Rhythms that created tracks of down home, get up and get down music for everyone.
