À propos de Vince Jones

A voice like silk and a trumpet straight from heaven - that's Vince Jones, Australia's leading man when it comes to Jazz.

It's always the same somehow (outside Australia, that is). Someone stops over to your place, you're about to put on a Vince Jones record and the first thing you get is a sidelong glance: "Vince Jones? Dunnohim. What sort of music does he do?" You just smile and press PLAY - doing what you did so many times before: You give live to a previously unborn Vince Jones fan. That's the way it goes: People who don't know him already will fall in love with Vince Jones on first encounter in 9 out of 10 cases; that's how the congenial Jazz singer and songwriter won over an ever-growing, worldwide community of fans since starting out in 1981. In his home country of choice, Australia, the born scotsman reliably turns each of his releases into gold; the soundtrack for the TV-series "Come in Spinner", which he did with Grace Knight, is known to melt hearts in australian households on a regular basis. His album "One Day Spent" [INT 3087] was in the Top 20 of the american BILLBOARD Jazz Charts for months, and also in Europe Vince Jones has long gathered a faithful following. Must be due to his special knack for the subtle, in terms of harmony as in terms of humour, which also shows in his (choice of) finely honed lyrics; Jones prefers to deal with matters of social relevance, be that in the scale of society as a whole or with regard to twosome affairs. While he endulged his preferences by interpreting famous classics mostly for a good part of his career, Vince Jones has meanwhile (since the first All-Jones album "Future Girl") gotten out of the closet as a songwriter, too -- as we know today, much to the delight of critics and audience alike. So... if you haven't had the pleasure to meet Mr. Vince Jones musically yet, we can only recommend you to do so soon.
