He has to be the world’s most laid-back singer, relaxed, cool and unhurried, confident in his own musical style, he sings like there’s nothing to prove; His mellifluous tone filling the lyrics with his obvious joy of the music.

A soulful voice without any pretensions; a musician who sings from his heart, and a repertoire that expresses the human condition. He is a Maverick and a Troubadour.” - NME UK

Nicknamed-Australia’s National Treasure, for over 5 decades Vince has carved out a singular space in the Australian musical landscape, blending cool jazz, soul and sophisticated song writing with a lyrical honesty that speaks straight to the heart. From his breakthrough in the early 80s, to creating the highest-selling Oz Jazz album to date ‘Come in Spinner' (from the ABC TV Series) to His enduring presence on festival stages and concert halls here and overseas, Jones has remained true to an artistic vision that's as politically conscious as it is musically rich. Recognised as one of the country's most influential Jazz artists captivating audiences with his deeply expressive vocals and spirited trumpet playing, He doesn't just interpret songs he inhabits them!

With 24 albums to boot, a new offering due out shortly, he continues to inspire listeners, push boundaries & set the benchmark for fellow musicians, with invites to guest mentor Oz Conservatorium students.. His Spirit and Voice as fresh and vibrant as the first day he hit the stage!

"Jones’ effortless sublime voice and command of his beloved trumpet will have you swooning under his captivating spell.” - The Australian

As a man who thinks deeply about the state of the world, his passion for social consciousness shines through in his lyrics and life. Never shy about advocating for and sharing his views on the human condition, world affairs and our environment, His thought provoking astute observations have you walking away inspired … you take home something to think about!

“I watch people’s faces; and sometimes it looks like strange things are happening in their souls when they listen.” - VJ

Born in Glasgow, Vince and family came to live in Australia at 11 years old. Growing up in Wollongong NSW, listening to his Horn-playing father and singing Mothers' collection of great jazz albums, the feel, style and essence of the music became a natural part of Vince’s world. Starting his journey at 20 as a bebop trumpeter playing the club circuit in Melbourne in the late 70’s and early 80’s, the young man had no idea that in just a few years his superb voice would touch the hearts and minds of so many. Drawn to R&B music-a genre in which the emotive force of the voice is matched by technical and improvising skills, to a young guy steeped in creativity and blessed with a sweet golden voice – it was natural to meld these together - so began the evolution of one of Australia’s great vocalists.

Particular about the company he keeps, His goup features Oz elite players - Matt McMahon on Piano John Mackey - Tenor Sax James Hauptmann - Drums * and Guest Ben Robertson on Double Bass.

“A magical performance by Vince Jones, who now has one of the best in a long line of exceptional bands.” — Sydney Morning Herald

"Listening to a hip group such as this one can have transformational effects. As your brain is bathed in sound, you can feel the music playing Tetris with your emotions as connections emerge, and new memories are made.” - Glam Adelaide
