Gypsy music at Kalyx!

Cameron Jones is a multifaceted artist who wields his Selmer-style guitar to weave vibrant tales of authentic manouche jazz. A guitarist, composer, festival director, and educator, Jones blends percussive rhythms with expressive melodies, embodying the essence of the genre.

His European pilgrimages, retracing Django Reinhardt's footsteps, enriched him with invaluable mentorship from Reinhardt's kin, nurturing a rare authenticity to his musicality. Each performance is a unique narrative, infused with original stories and delivered with spontaneous energy, captivating audiences with the true spirit of gypsy jazz.

Cameron has toured and performed with European artists Robin Nolan (UK), Lollo Meier (Netherlands) and Irene Ypenberg (Netherlands).

In Australia, Jones thrives on gigs with like-minded musicians. He’s a member of Spyglass Gypsies and Gadjo Guitars and has performed with Daniel Weltlinger, Ian Date and Ewan McKenzie.
