Multi ARIA-recipient, acclaimed vocalist & trumpeter is one of the most beloved iconic performers in Australian music. Vince needs no introduction to any music-lover, celebrated for the Beauty of His signature Voice, there is no one like Vince In Concert or in-person, an unassuming quiet charisma that has you spellbound! He has to be the world’s most laid-back singer, relaxed, cool and unhurried, confident in his own musical style, he sings like there’s nothing to prove; His mellifluous tone filling the lyrics with his obvious joy of the music.
A soulful voice without any pretensions; a musician who sings from his heart, and a repertoire that expresses the human condition. He is a Maverick and a Troubadour.” - NME UK
Nicknamed-Australia’s National Treasure, for over 5 decades Vince has carved out a singular space in the Australian musical landscape, blending cool jazz, soul and sophisticated song writing with a lyrical honesty that speaks straight to the heart. 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. Recognised as one of the country's most influential Jazz artists captivating audiences with his deeply expressive vocals and spirited trumpet playing, He doesn't just interpret songs he inhabits them!
With 24 albums to boot, a new offering due out shortly, he continues to inspire listeners, push boundaries & set the benchmark for fellow musicians, with invites to guest mentor Oz Conservatorium students.. His Spirit and Voice as fresh and vibrant as the first day he hit the stage!
