At the Chicago Vocational High School, where he then took intensive theoretical lessons, he made his first experiences in live bands with the electric bass and in orchestras with the double bass .

In the early 1980s he was a member of the Miles Davis Band and involved in their albums Decoy and You're Under Arrest . Since then he has worked, for example, on studio recordings by Kenny Garrett , Herbie Hancock , Sting and Peter Gabriel .

Darryl Jones is among other things employed as an accompanist and session musician for the Rolling Stones , which have been without a permanent bass player since Bill Wyman's departure in 1993. He made his Rolling Stones debut on the 1994 album Voodoo Lounge .
