Best known as the bassist, keyboardist, and mandolin player for English rock band Led Zeppelin, Jones has since developed a solo career and is widely respected as both a musician and a producer. A versatile musician, Jones also plays guitar, koto, lap steel guitars, autoharp, ukulele, sitar, cello, continuum and the three over-dubbed recorder parts heard on Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".
According to Allmusic, Jones "has left his mark on rock & roll music history as an innovative musician, arranger, and director."
Jones is currently part of the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures with Josh Homme and Dave Grohl. He plays the bass, piano and other instruments. This supergroup released their first single "New Fang", and is due to release their debut, self-titled album on November 17, 2009.
