- Koko_Jones abstract "Koko Jones, (AKA: Koko Jones Xtravaganza) formerly known as Bujo Kevin Jones, is an African-American transgendered jazz percussionist and band leader based in New Jersey. Bill Milkowski of JazzTimes described her first album, Tenth World, produced by Babatunde Lea, as combining "the spirit of Africa with modern jazz on her impressive debut." Jones's music takes influence from music of Cuba and Congo. Jones grew up in Englewood, New Jersey where her musician ship was nourished through the fertile artistic background of her family and the talented enclave that this small town offers. As a teenager she boasts to have teachers such as percussionists Babatunde Lea, Marvin "Bugalu" Smith, Congolese drummers Titos Sompa and Coster Massamba, Charli Persip and Max Roach. She played percussion professionally at the early age 13 with a group called "Spoonbread" who were signed to All Platinum Records of Englewood, NJ. She studied music at the University of Massachusetts and Jazzmobile simultaneously until 1979 when her Professor, saxophonist Archie Shepp, took her on tour to Europe where she recorded her second album. Just months later she was hired by The Isley Brothers and toured and later recorded a host of records with them. The association with The Isley's led to numerous opportunities one of which was several tours with Whitney Houston and many others. Her transition from male to female took place in 1991 which left a gap in her musical work history until 1999 when she was forced to present as a male in order to have full custody of her child. She transitioned back in 2008.Jones has performed with Whitney Houston, The Isley Brothers, Jermaine Jackson, Archie Shepp, Charles McPherson, Winard Harper, Ray Copeland, Talib Kibwe, Babatunde Lea, James Weidman, Clifford Adams, and Malaki Ma Congo Drum and Dance Ensemble".
