Jesse Jones Jr. Quartet • Saxophone & Jazz
Jesse Jones Jr. is a Miami native, saxophonist extraordinaire, and continues to be on the forefront of a burgeoning jazz renaissance in South Florida. Jesse's Quartet brings brilliant ensemble work and always top quality music. The arrangements are intricate...an indication of the many years these musicians have been together as a unit. They know each other well and it shows. A phenomenal reed player, Jesse is technically superior on the Alto, soprano and baritone saxophone, as well as flute. He combines the hard-bop influence of Cannonball Adderley, the funk of Hank Crawford, and the sweetness of Paul Desmont.
