Vince Jones

POSTPONED

This June, The Flying Saucer Club is proud to welcome back renowned Jazz Artist Vince Jones.Vince has set the benchmark for Australian Jazz artists since his emergence in the jazz clubs of Melbourne in the late 70s and early 80s. His 20 album, international career has never hesitated in its musical evolution – a career played in the moment. He is a national treasure whose music transcends musical boundaries.

He is that rare genre-defying artist – even jazz – in Vince’s case, who creates music without borders. From Iris DeMent’s folk “Our Town” to his original piano heavy, new age “Wonderworld”, he comments, sometimes uncomfortably, about the world we live in from an unashamedly idealistic perspective. His intuitive readings of the Great American Songbook are sensitively true to composer and artist. He is also a wonderful trumpet player. Over time, his style has developed a distinctive reserve and subtlety. He plays a little less and draws a good deal more from it than he did in early days. A brief, thoughtful solo from Vince is worth a hundred notes played with less discretion. Particular about the musical company he keeps, he’s enjoyed playing with the best musicians the country has to offer. He continues to do so on his return to a favourite club – with Matt McMahon (piano), Ben Robertson (bass) and Tony Floyd (drums) on Sunday June 19th.
