“…only one in a hundred actually makes the grade [as a jazz singer]. In this country, Jones remains the benchmark.” John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

“He’s a soulful survivor, with a voice as cool as a long G&T and a repertoire that balances jazz, rock and soul."                          Beat Magazine (USA)

Continuing his successful monthly residency at Foundry616, Vince Jones, Australia’s leading jazz vocalist/composer, returns to the club with a sensational repertoire and band.

As a contemporary jazz singer, Jones uses his voice as an expressive instrument and the lyric as a vehicle for story and comment – and he sings like there’s nothing to prove. It’s a humble, humanistic and refreshing approach that gives us, the audience, the chance to be really moved.

Scottish born, Jones’ musical path continues to be influenced by his Celtic heritage, as much as his beginnings as a bebop trumpet player. From his first album released in 1981, the quiet, strong statement of Watch What Happens, Vince has steadily showcased his vocal and songwriting talent through another 14 acclaimed albums - a loyal audience developing with each release and tour.

The combination of his unmistakable voice, thought provoking lyrics and subtle trumpet playing makes for an enticing and often moving performance.

Vince Jones’ latest offering is Modern Folk, a compilation of songs recorded live around Australia, released through Vitamin Records. He records and tours with a band comprising musicians who are highly regarded in their own right, including Matt McMahon on piano, Simon Barker on drums and Ben Waples on bass.

His superb voice continues to engage audiences in Australia and beyond. Come and enjoy one of our best artists in an intimate club setting.
