Jones was a member of the renowned British pop-rock/mod band the Small Faces from 1965 to 1969. After the departure of lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott in 1969, the group recruited singer Rod Stewart and guitarist Ron Wood , both formerly from the Jeff Beck Group . Their label, Warner Brothers , demanded they keep the name "Small Faces" for name recognition, but they quickly shortened it to the Faces. Jones remained with the band until its dissolution in 1976, recording five albums with them. From 1978 to 1985, Jones was a member of the Who, replacing original drummer Keith Moon , who had died from drug-related causes. Jones formed a partnership with former Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers in the early 1990's, forming a band called The Law . Jones has also performed on many recording sessions, including appearances on albums by The Rolling Stones , Andy Fairweather Low , Joan Armatrading , Marsha Hunt , Mike Batt , Pete Townshend , Chuck Berry , Jerry Lee Lewis , David Essex , John Lodge , and Wings . In 2001, Jones formed a new band; over several months, the line-up solidified to include Rick Wills ( Peter Frampton , Foreigner , Small Faces), and Robert Hart (Bad Company.) In 2005, they released their debut effort, Any Day Now . Outside of music, Jones is a passionate fan of Polo , has become an accomplished polo player and is the owner of Hurtwood Park Polo Club, in Ewhurst , Surrey . On behalf of The Small Faces and in memory of his late colleagues Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane , Jones established a children's charity, the Small Faces Charitable Trust , in 1999. EXTERNAL LINKS
