Bobby Jones (October 30, 1928 in Louisville, Kentucky – March 6, 1980 in Munich) was an American jazz saxophonist. Jones played drums as a child and started on clarinet at age 8; his father encouraged him to explore jazz. He studied with Simeon Bellison, , Charlie Parker, and George Russell. He played with Ray McKinley from 1949 into the mid-1950s, and then with Hal McIntyre before rejoining McKinley later in the decade. Late in his life he moved to Germany, where he ceased performing due to emphysema. He died there in 1980.
