Reverend Arthur Morris Jones was a missionary based in Zambia from 1923 until the early 1950s. He is considered one of the pioneers of African music studies. The collection is varied in terms of the number of cultures and countries it covers as Jones set about his exploration of some overarching areas of research: African hymnody, African rhythm and multipart structures, and African xylophones.
