Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Boone sang in a Baptist church choir as a boy,[1] then began playing the trombone at the age of twelve. He served with the U.S. Army from 1948 to 1953 where he played trombone in a military band.[1] Out of the Army, he returned to Little Rock to study music at Philander Smith College.[1] In 1956 Boone moved to Los Angeles where he played in venues with Dolo Coker, Sonny Criss, and Dexter Gordon.[1] Boone worked in the backup band for Della Reese between 1962 and 1966 then became a member of the Count Basie band.[1] A few years later he left Basie and moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, performing with the Ernie Wilkins Big Band.[1]
