When talking about John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is the greatest recourse to my accountant, then he did in his career, but certainly not most of his musical life. Jones was the bassist and keyboardist for the group, a role that was almost lost because of the intervention of Cliff Richards, who is listed for his band The Shadows in 1960. A player session as Led Zeppelin Jimmy Page, it was during the recording of the work of an album by The YardbirdsPage and Jones, the former has the opportunity to sit down and get to know each other. Jones, then when you know that the talented guitarist, has had a band that was in contact with Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin will dominate the next 12 years of his life.

In addition to his work with the senses, Jones was one that contributes a strong background affect the work of the band with the use of mellotron, synthesizers and other keyboard instruments adept. He enjoyed the addition of this level for the heavyMetallic sound of the band was creating, as he helped the guitars are mostly oriented groups called on the charts and enabled him to escape the prison was built to lower himself. He prefers to play keyboards on stage, and as bass solos are relatively rare in the rock world, which is used to choose the institution for its flights of improvisation.

Jones found a job touring with the group as painful for his family, and maintainedleaves the group more than once, not contempt for its members who care deeply about, but by a desire to return to normal life. After the breakup of Led Zeppelin, pushing his second life and of himself behind the mixing and producing music for a very wide range of actions - Ben E. King, REM, Foo Fighters and Brian Eno, to name a few. Appeal is often said that John Paul Jones was the most successful of the group,post-Zeppelin, but the nature of their role and how it was decided to use their hidden talents results of the general public. Jones is not entirely limited to working with other artists and released a solo album in 1990 differential and early 2000.
