Thanks for the info. I must admit that there was a gap in my immersion in jazz for a while in the '60's (Had a wife then who hated it; she hasn't been around for quite a while!) and the various comments about Jones in that period are enlightening. It does appear that he has been clean for a while and that may explain why the article in "JazzTimes" didn't touch on it (although that mag does tend to gloss over such things at times). It's remarkable, I suppose, that he's as healthy as he apparently is and has, of course, outlived a tragically too large number of jazz musicians who never were able to tame the demons. On the other hand there are some who did and who lived long and prospered (at least in jazz terms), e.g., Jimmy Heath, Jackie McLean, Sonny Rollins, Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz.
