It is an understatement to say Charlie Jones is a good guitarist. Charlie Jones is a fantastic guitarist. A masterful artist of great dexterity who transmits pure emotion while easily gliding across musical genres of rock, blues, straight-ahead jazz and fusion. He is also a songwriter and educator and has been a fixture in the tri-state music scene since the 1970’s. He has performed with many great jazz and R&B artists, including Bettye Lavette, Big John Patton, Illinois Jacquet, Jimmy McGriff, Bernard Purdie, Jesse Morrison, Larry Young, Lonnie Youngblood, Buddy Miles and Larry Coryell. Mr. Jones has instructed music at New York University, William Paterson College, Ramapo College and continues to teach privately to students of all levels. His last CD recording was appropriately entitled “Charlie Jones” and a long-awaited new recording is currently in the works.
The other very talented musicians making-up the Charlie Jones Group are Danny Johnson on drums, Kevin Kiley on harmonica/vocals and Earl Sauls on bass. For more band info, go to www.charliejonesmusic.com/
