==Early life==
James Gable Aton was born in Sioux City in 1925. His father owned a music store in Sioux City, and he studied violin and piano while attending the Sioux City public schools. Following service in the Merchant Marine near the close of World War II, he was drafted and served an additional year in the Air Force, based in Denver and the Philippines. After leaving the military he spent a year studying English and music at the Morningside College Conservatory of music, before transferring to the University of South Dakota. He began performing on string bass in local jazz combos during this period, including a combo led by legendary Kansas City expatriate trumpet player and bandleader Clarence Kenner. Kenner had worked in Kansas City-based big bands in the 1920s and early 1930s and had largely defined the bluesy and swinging style of jazz for which Sioux City later became known. Kenner took the young bassist under his wing, providing Aton with much early valuable professional experience.〔Hittle, Jon B., "JAZZ TOWN," ''Weekender Magazine'', Sioux City, IA, March 2004.〕
