Vince Jones has set the benchmark for Australian jazz singers since his emergence in the jazz clubs of Melbourne in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Over the course of 22 albums, myriad awards and countless live performances, Jones has entranced audiences with his mellifluous tenor voice alongside his eloquent trumpet playing. His approach is laidback, reserved even, bringing emotion and his innate musicianship to the fore. A remarkable interpreter and prolific composer of songs in a contemporary and unique style, Jones continues to explore new musical terrains. As a man who thinks deeply about the state of the world and our need to get back to a simpler way of living, Jones has never been afraid to comment on matters close to his heart, his astute observations interwoven between songs and embedded in his original compositions. One of a kind, with a natural charisma and deep passion, Vince Jones is that rare genre-defying artist who creates music without borders.
