Jesse Jones Jr. • 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.
