From his breakthrough in the early 80s, to creating the highest-selling Oz Jazz album to date ‘Come in Spinner' (from the ABC TV Series) to His enduring presence on festival stages and concert halls here and overseas, Jones has remained true to an artistic vision that's as politically conscious as it is musically rich.

"We chose him because his music is different to typical jazz – It’s Hip Offbeat, Contemporary and Eclectic. You will go away from the concert feeling inspired…” - Riverfest NSW
As a man who thinks deeply about the state of the world, his passion for social consciousness shines through in his lyrics and life. Never shy about advocating for and sharing his views on the human condition, world affairs and our environment, His thought provoking astute observations have you walking away inspired … you take home something to think about!
“I watch people’s faces; and sometimes it looks like strange things are happening in their souls when they listen.” - VJ
Born in Glasgow, Vince and family came to live in Australia at 11 years old. Growing up in Wollongong NSW, 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 so many. 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.
Accompanied by His world class group - featuring; Matt McMahon on Piano/MD * Ben Vanderwal - Drums * John Mackey - Tenor Sax * and Ben Robertson on Double Bass
