Album Notes

Jinx Jones
"One thing that really sets Jinx Jones apart is his obvious knowledge and love of jazz and chords. Almost all of the solos feature a section that's a trip through chord-city. By the time the single notes start to fly, you're really impressed by his know-how."
--Vintage Guitar Magazine, August, 2001

"San Francisco's Jinx Jones' knack for stellar guitar is both a feast for tone aficionados a lovely stroll down memory lane."
--Guitar Player Magazine, March, 2001

In Jinx Jones' impressive musical career he has visited nearly every conceivable style and genre of the electric guitar. From his work with R&B divas, En Vogue to his own acclaimed rockabilly album, "License to Twang," Jones has always strived to expand the possibilities of the instrument. He accepts every musical challenge head on, always making an impressive statement with his music. The one thing that remains consistent throughout Jones' multi-stylistic journey is the grace and finesse of his virtuoso playing.

"Jinx is the best. To disagree is to say that you've never seen him perform. He is, by far, one of the most gifted players in the city."
--Front Row Magazine

"Gifted with a good swing feel, the eclectic Jinx Jones spices up Rock, Jazz, R&B and Rockabilly arrangements with chromatic surprises...his sophisticated phrasing suggests good things to come."
--Guitar Player Magazine, May, 1993
