Tom Jones (baseball)

Thomas Jones (January 22, 1877 – June 19, 1923) was an American first baseman in Major League Baseball. He played eight seasons in the American League with the Baltimore Orioles (1902), St. Louis Browns (1904–09), and Detroit Tigers (1909–10). Born in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, he batted and threw right-handed.

He made his debut on August 25, 1902 with the Baltimore Orioles. With the Browns in 1906, he led the American League in sacrifices (40). In 1908, Jones led the AL in putouts (1,616) and double plays (79). During the 1909 season, he was traded to the Tigers from the Browns for Claude Rossman and played in the 1909 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1,058 career games, Jones batted .251 with 964 hits and 135 stolen bases.

Tom Jones (racing driver)

Tom Jones (April 26, 1943 – May 29, 2015) was an American racing driver, born in Dallas, Texas. He entered his own Cooper T82 in one Formula One race, the 1967 Canadian Grand Prix. After a promising practice performance, he suffered electrical problems during qualifying and only set one very slow lap time. The stewards denied him a place on the grid on the grounds that he was "too slow", even though he had been competitive in practice runs.

Until quite recently Jones was considered one of Formula One's great obscurities, but it has since emerged that he raced on and off throughout the 1970s in various series before retiring in 1980.

He ran a welding and metal fabrication company in Cleveland. Jones died in Eastlake, Ohio on 29 May 2015. His old Cooper T82 still survives and its current owner competes with it in historic racing series.

Back Door (jazz trio)

Back Door was a jazz-rock trio, formed in 1971.

Band members

Career

Colin Hodgkinson first met Ron Aspery whilst the two were playing in Eric Delaney's Showband. The two began to talk about forming their own band around 1969, and eventually Back Door came to fruition in 1971, with Tony Hicks joining on drums. Hodgkinson made an innovative use of the electric bass, making it a lead instrument rather than a part of a rhythm section.

Their unique brand of jazz-rock and Hodgkinson's original playing was a hit at their regular venue; the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge, Yorkshire. However, record labels were not keen and the band were repeatedly told "No singer, no contract". Ever the innovators, the band decided to record their first album themselves. It was recorded on a 4-track Ampex mixing console in eight hours, and mixed in four hours the next day. Around 1,000 copies were first printed by RCA. The album was sold over the bar at The Lion Inn, and at a few record shops in the local area.

Back Door (album)

Back Door is the eponymously titled debut studio album of Back Door, released independently in 1972 by Blakey Records. It received wider distribution when it was adopted by Warner Bros. the following year. It introduced the group's virtuoso approach to jazz, funk, soul, blues and hard rock music. In 2005, the album was listed on JazzTimes' top fifty albums released between 1970 and 2005. In 2014 it was re-released on CD, compiled with 8th Street Nites and Another Fine Mess, by BGO Records.
