We just went to the Connie Jones Tribute at Loyola University this evening... It´s amazing what Connie contributed to the city of New Orleans. A wonderful remembrance of his music with great musicians. He is missed, but his music lives on.

I grew up with Connie on Woodlawn Place in Lakeview. He used to play trumpet in my living room at an early age along with the music from our record player. We use to run the neighborhood and back alleys together. While chopping weeds in the alley he accidentally cut me between the eyes with his large knife. I still have the scar to remember it. We were in the same National Guard in the 1950s together. My mother would bring Connie and I to the Parisian Room on Sundays to hear Sharky Bannano...

To Elaine: How well I remember both you and Connie; both, so gracious. Each year, when Bob and I drove to NOLA, you took us "under your wing." It was so much fun to "hang" w/the Mardi Gras street scenes and to hear Pete's "group." You were wonderful hosts! Today, Connie is making music w/Gabriel. Maybe, someday, you and I will meet UP again. Lots of Love, Rosa

He was my friend and teacher. It was a privilege to know him, share
time with him and play music with him. Each day brought joy.

Connie was a most beloved first cousin. His passing has evoked memories filled with smiles and laughter of playing together and challenging the patience of Aunt Carol, Helen and Avie. With the passing of time we grew and life set us off on our separate ways. But I still remember the fearsome foursome of Aunts Carol and Adele, mom and dad sitting in the backyard, as dad barbequed. The returning cousins, with thier spouses and children, laughing and playing; picking up as if time had not...

I was friends with Mr. Connie's daughter Phyllis, and I remember he would drop us off at ballet lessons in Algiers before driving into the Quarter to perform. I also remember seeing him playing at the Jazz Fest. My deepest sympathies to the Jones' family.
