Jones, 'Spike' (Lindley Armstrong)

    0.01 sec.

Jones, ‘Spike’ (Lindley Armstrong) (1911-1965)

US bandleader. His unconventional band, the City Slickers (1942-61), committed musical mayhem with popular tunes, augmenting normal instruments with assorted noisemakers, including washboards and cowbells. The band toured regularly and appeared in films and on television, where Jones often had his own show (1951-61). A serious musician, in his last years he took up Dixieland jazz.

He was born in Long Beach, California.
