Jones has set the benchmark for Australian Jazz singers since his emergence in the jazz clubs of Melbourne in the late 70s. His 22 album international career has never hesitated in its musical evolution – a career played in the moment.

His unique smooth vocals captivates the audience as he fills the lyrics with his obvious love of the songs. A remarkable interpreter and composer of songs in a contemporary unique style, whilst remaining relevant and prolific as a songwriter, he sings like there’s nothing to prove with his distinctive rich velvet voice and profound joy for the Music.
