John Paul Jones the legendary multi instrumentalist musician





John Paul Jones (born John Baldwin on 3 January 1946) is an English multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, arranger and record producer.

Best known as the bassist, mandolinist, and keyboardist for English rock band Led Zeppelin, Jones has since developed a solo career and has gained even more respect 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." Many rock bassists have been influenced by John Paul Jones including Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Gene Simmons, and Krist Novoselic.
