By 1937 Jones had composed a number of classical works; that year a concert by Francis James and his string quartet, consisting entirely of Jones' compositions, was held in Toronto at the Eaton Auditorium.[1]
Jones began teaching at Mills College in California from 1939 to 1944,[2] and at the Music Academy of the West in 1949 and 1950.[2] From 1951 on he taught at the Aspen Festival, where he met and worked with Darius Milhaud.[3] He taught at the Juilliard School between 1954 and 1960, and again in 1973.[2][4] During the 1970s he taught composition at the Mannes College of Music, starting in 1972.[5][6] His works have been performed by the New York Philharmonic and the National Symphony Orchestra.
The music critic Tim Page and composer Walter Buczynski were among Jones's notable students.
