The Bay Area born and bred saxophonists Jessica Jones and Tony Jones met in the Berkeley High School saxophone section, and went on to form an over 30 year musical bond. They are the core of this group, an improvising jazz ensemble which performs original experimental music. Their music derives from the jazz tradition using structured original compositions as a framework for freer improvisation. The compositions of Jessica and husband Tony Jones are given life by the innovative and energetic rhythm section of bassist Stomu Takeishi, and, for this performance, local luminary Deszon X. Claiborne, a musical colleague of Jessica and Tony’s since their days in UC Berkeley’s Young Musicians Program. Read about the band here....
