Ron Jones Biography

Ron Jones is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on July 7, 1954 in Kansas, Kansas, United States. Perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated song “This House is Freakin’ Sweet” (written for the Fox series Family Guy), this television composer also worked on Star Trek: The Next Generation, American Dad, and The Fairly Odd Parents.

Though his composition work for Star Trek: The Next Generation earned him significant critical acclaim, he was ultimately fired from the show by producers Peter Lauritson and Rick Berman, who took issue with his approach to television scoring.

Jones provided critically acclaimed work for the first four seasons (1987–1991) of Star Trek: The Next Generation (Star Trek: TNG). In total, Jones composed forty-two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He was interviewed by Bill Florence for the article “Ron Jones – Sounds in Space”, published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 14, pp. 16–22. After three seasons and starting in the fourth the producers choose other composers to assume Ron’s position scoring the series. No specific reasons were given other than they wanted a less dramatic approach to the show’s scores and less emphasis on melodic content. Despite the success of his work, Jones was fired from the crew of The Next Generation under controversial circumstances near the end of the fourth season. His firing was supposedly because his music was thought to be “too noticeable” by Rick Berman. Jones has since been a major critic of Berman-era Trek.; he cited the music of the subsequent Trek spin-offs as “less melodic and more pad-like.” Furthermore, he thought the theme for Enterprise would have been better used for the opening ceremonies of the WNBA.

In 1987, Jones was recruited by Chris Montan, the head of Disney Music, to compose the music for Disney’s first syndicated cartoon series, DuckTales. Montan was impressed with Jones’ work during a session on a Hanna-Barbera cartoon and admired the composer’s philosophy to respect the intelligence of the audience rather than creating a “patronizing” or “cute” score that would play down to them. Jones accepted Montag’s request to score DuckTales, which became one of the most successful animated programs of all time. Jones worked on DuckTales through 1988, during which time he composed, conducted, arranged, and orchestrated various memorable cues and themes which were reused throughout the show’s two-season run.

He grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and later earned a bachelor’s degree in composition from Seattle Pacific University in Washington.
