Jones made his recording début in1996 releasing “Have You Met Mr. Jones” on the Parrot label (catalogue number PARCD 507). In 1999 he made an album for the Jamaican Vivid label and more recently has appeared on albums by Welsh jazz/folk band Burum and by the folk musician Miranda Sykes of Show Of Hands fame. The Parrot release was largely an album where Jones interpreted material by composers such as Herbie Hancock and Hank Mobley alongside more conventional standards and the occasional original. The self released “Impetus” is a vehicle for Jones the writer.
