PRESS QUOTES
”A formidable saxophonist. Ed Jones may have hit his highest profile through his work with bands US3 and Incognito, but he’s an improviser to his fingertips, a player of forceful imagination, and one of the Uk’s most distinctive saxophonists.” John Fordham The Guardian.

​”The Vigorous, sometimes downright volcanic tenor sound of Ed Jones has long been one of the great live delights of British Jazz. His barnstorming ‘terrier with a rat’ approach raises the musics temperature whenever he solos“. Chris Parker, Jazzwise.

“One of the most fluent and forceful saxophonists in Europe” Jack Massarik Evening Standard

​”One of Europes most exciting and inovative bandleaders”-BBC Music Magazine

​“Risk taking arrangements and compositions, seriously engaging territory” Tom Barlow Jazz wise

​“Inventive, physical, full of life, on the edge and unmistakably of today” Chris May, All about Jazz

​“For Best gigs of 2016 twice this year – at the 606 with Killer Shrimp and a low-key pub gig – from someone with his ‘out’ image, the most imaginative and exciting evenings of song book and jazz standards I have heard in years. – Brian Blain LondonJazzNews.com
