John paul jones brief biography of maya

Before Seattle architect Johnpaul Jones was summoned to remake it, the tribal museum on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation was a humble affair.

“It was actually like a gift shop,” recalls Southern Ute tribal member Robert Burch, “with Ute-made beadwork that was for sale in a small building. And then we were able to put some exhibits in there. But it wasn’t really a museum.”

When the Ignacio, Colorado-based tribe sought a space to better present their history and identity to visitors, Jones was a natural choice. He’d spent decades working with American Indian tribes and incorporating Native architectural motifs and philosophies into his designs. 

Most notably, Jones was the lead design consultant for the National Museum of the American Indian, which opened in 2004 on the National köpcentrum in Washington, D.C.

20 Things You Didn’t Know John Paul Jones Did

Created the signature riff to “Black Dog.”
Jimmy Page is widely renowned as one of the greatest riff-smiths in rock history, a fact that often overshadows some of the more impressive musical contributions of his Zeppelin bandmates. Case in point: It was Jones, not Page, who came up with the unique 5/4 riff for one of Led Zeppelin‘s most recognizable songs, “Black Dog.” As Jones told Cameron Crowe in the liner notes to the Led Zeppelin box set Light and Shade, “I wanted to try an electric blues with a rolling bass part. But it couldn’t be too simple. I wanted it to turn back on itself. I showed it to the guys, and we fell into it.
