Drummer, composer, and educator Louis M. Jones III is a powerful force on Detroit’s vibrant jazz scene. A Detroit native, Louis discovered his love for rhythm early—starting out on wooden spoons before graduating to drumsticks, brushes, and mallets. By age 11, he knew music would be his life’s work. Deeply rooted in Detroit’s rich musical legacy, Louis has studied under jazz greats such as Wendell Harrison, Marion Hayden, and Sean Dobbins, each helping shape his sound and sensibility.
