David Jones (c. 1888 – 1956) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, mellophonist, teacher and arranger.
Davey joined Marable's band at the same time as Louis Armstrong and taught the 17-year-old how to read sheet music.
Jones played with King Oliver in California in 1921, and then worked in St. Louis, Missouri with R.Q.
Following this he and Dickerson found work in Wilson Robinson's Bostonians, remaining in this ensemble after Andrew Peer took over and led the group for a residency at the Cotton Club in New York City.
Davey also gave lessons to young trumpeter Joe Newman, who later played with Count Basie.
