Ms. Jones

About Me

Ms. Jones is a Soul Singer with roots in Jazz, Funk, Blues, R&B, Rock and Hip-Hop. She has been singing for 15 years, but just truly came out of her shell in the last twelve months. She has quickly built a name for herself as a poignient improvisational singer keeping audiences on their toes with off the cuff lyrics and soulful, wailing vocals. Compared to Susan Tedeschi, Fiona Apple and Janis Joplin, she has a unique and bold, sultry yet vibrant style that carries into any genre. She has shared the stage with Ivan Neville on Jam Cruise 6 and Yes's John Anderson in Denver, and has recorded locally with rapper Whygee and soul singer charleyBRAND, and in Galactic's studio in NOLA with them and Mr. Lif. Armed with hundreds of her own originals and covers, coupled with the ability to make up songs on the fly, Ms. Jones is sure to please audiences looking for an intimate and genuine musical experience.___________________________________________On a Personal note..._______________________________________________ I have been singing my whole life. Mine is a particular brand of soulful blues and jazz influenced vocals. I've been compared to Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, and Kurt Elling (the latter being for style rather than tambor.) Believe that this girl can get down, I got fire in my belly... I've posted a few rough drafts to the page, some are of better recording quality than others... remember, these are all scratch vocals and nothing's done... but you can get an idea of what I'm up to and decide for yourself... let me know what you think... Thanks for stopping by. Much Love, J

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/17/2005
Band Members: Jessica Jones * Vocals, Beats, and Piano/Hammond Organ
Influences: Jill Scott, Sarah Vaughn, Ella, Aretha, Kurt Elling, India.Arie, Susan Tedeschi, Natalie Maines, Otis Redding, Erykah Badu, Janis Joplin, Tracy Chapman, Elton John (damn he's got soul!), Diana Krall, Raphael Saadiq, Donnie Hathaway, Annie Lennox (anyone who knows her music knows why,) Tierney Sutton, and many many more artists who've marked my soul with music.
Sounds Like: I play my voice like Al Jareu and have soul like Joss Stone without laryngitis. I get low like Fiona Apple and can scat like Sarah Vaughn and Jill Scott. But really, these are just comparisons. I am my own voice and style. I flow like Floetry, and get into jazz standards in the same night. If you're still curious, offer me the mic.
