Born in Glasgow, Vince and family came to live in Australia at 11 years old. Growing up in Wollongong, 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 many. He was 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 musical company he keeps, Jones continues to enjoy playing with some of the best musicians at the top of their game. This world class hip band features Matt McMahon - piano, John Mackey - tenor sax, James Hauptmann drums and Karl Dunnicliff on double bass.

"A magical performance by Vince Jones, who now has one of the Best in a long line of exceptional bands." -SMH
