The "Jack Bone Group" was an early band of Marlon Klein and his brother Hans-Peter "Pitty" Klein.
The came from Herford and probably originated from "Jack Bone Blues", of which i don't know anything about.
At that time they had a rehearsal room in Herford next to the better known Missus Beastly.
The earliest known recordings are from 1973, in the line-up:

Hans-Peter Klein - vocal & guitar
Wolfgang Nickel - Hammond A100
Manfred Deppe - e-viola & Galanti bass
Marlon Klein - drums

Later Manfred Deppe and Wolfgang Nickel left the Band, Klaus Wenske joined.
The only recording ever released is on the 1975 Umsonst & Draußen compilation LP.
It's called "Himalaya-Erdbeernuss, in the line-up:

Klaus Wenske - Bass
Marlon Klein - Drums, Vibraphone
Hans-Peter Klein - Guitar, Piano

After that, they split and Marlon Klein founded the Real Ax Band, while Hans-Peter and Klaus made a short break and then revived the band as "Funky Bone & The Gang".
I own two songs by them, from the Umsonst & Draussen festival in 1977. The line-up then was:
Pitty Klein - Guitar
Klaus Wenske - Bass
Hinze - Drums
Niki Louda - Bremstrommel
Wolli Thümmler - Saxophone
W. Nickel - Keyboards
