Vince Jones Quintet

Arts Yackandandah is thrilled to host Australian jazz royalty, Vince Jones, and his quintet, for the very first time the Yackandandah Public Hall on Sunday, 6 December. Celebrating 50 years in the spotlight, songwriting and touring, this special intimate anniversary show sees the maverick artist journeying back through his career performing loved classic’s, as well as premiering tracks of the forthcoming album. All delivered with style and aplomb!

Multi ARIA-recipient, acclaimed vocalist & trumpeter, Vince is one of the most beloved iconic performers in Australian music. He 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, posessing an unassuming quiet charisma that has you spellbound!  Cool, relaxed and unhurried, he’s confident in his own musical style, and sings like there’s nothing to prove, his mellifluous tone filling the lyrics with his obvious joy of the music.

“Jones’ effortless sublime voice and command of his beloved trumpet will have you swooning under his captivating spell.” – The Australian

With 24 albums to boot, a new offering due out shortly, he continues to inspire listeners, push boundaries & set the benchmark for fellow musicians. He will be joined on stage by a group of elite Australian musicians: Matt McMahon on piano, John Mackey on tenor sax, Dave Beck on drums, and Ben Robertson on double bass.

“Listening to a hip group such as this one can have transformational effects. As your brain is bathed in sound, you can feel the music playing Tetris with your emotions as connections emerge, and new memories are made.”  –  Glam Adelaide 

Prepare to swoon, Yackandandah!
