reviews
quotes
"Jones wails on alto and tenor, and gets up to some stratospheric upper octaves. He not only makes the hound
dogs bark, he makes them howl. He's just as dexterous on flute."
Stephen Mordenti
Torrington Republic American
On hearing Doug's performance in Caracas, Venezuela: "....this does not happen every day, this is a rare experience."
Bertha Finol
International Pianist
"Doug shows his taste and jazz background on every solo, whether he is doing a Sanborn tune or one of his originals.
He always expresses the melody and the feel of the tune and knows exactly when to hold back and when to throw in the
kitchen sink. He's a player that thinks, that builds and builds on the theme, moving in and out of a groove,
finding the buttons that set everything on fire."
Mike Zinna
The Frogbelly Local
"Hop into your mode of transport and check out Doug Jones Group, please as soon as possible. I bet Mr. Jones was
born with that sax, he's so good at it (he knows his stuff on the WX7, too)."
Amy Sawyer
Hartford Planet
" . . . when ace sax player Doug Jones got up to jam with the group, the band went with the flow and the crowd got
two for the price of one."
