"Booker T. Jones is one of the legends of soul music. " — The New Yorker
“Jones’ name is synonymous with the Hammond B3 organ. At 17, he recorded the instrument’s anthem, “Green Onions” – NPR
As leader of the legendary Booker T. & The MGs, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and multiple GRAMMY Award winner and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Booker T. Jones is arguably the most famous Hammond B3 player in history.
Working alongside Otis Redding, Albert King and more at Stax Records, Booker T. has also worked with Willie Nelson, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Bill Withers and countless others. It can be argued that it was Booker T. Jones who set the cast for modern soul music and is largely responsible for its rise and enduring popularity. He pushed the music’s boundaries with his hits on Stax, refined it to its essence and then injected it into the nation’s bloodstream.
