| Reviews | Discography | Some Musicians Alan's Played With... |
 |
"The variety of material that he performs,
and his versatility gives Jones' playing a singularly engaging character."
|
| "The energy is extreme, there is never
a lethargic moment." |
|
| You need to take notice of this name... |
|
| "One of those rare percussionists who is also a musician. Whether
directly stated or implied Alan's supple pulse nudges and drives as
it colors and shades. One senses melodic as well as harmonic overtones
that vary textures with kaleidoscopic panache. |
|
| "An outstanding concert... on the drums played the youngest
member of the group, the American, Alan Jones, who by no means takes
second place to his "name cousins" Philly-Joe or Elvin. He did not confine
himself to the mere naked rhythm. On the contrary, he played a vital
role in the musical action of the group and his drum solos belong among
the finest ever heard by this critic!" |
 |
| "...fluid and relaxed, anything but lethargic... Jones'
drumming swings incessantly and is almost dizzying in it's variety ."
|
| "Creative risk taking reigned with an authority that was tough,
tender and quite beautiful to see (Jones) carved out propulsive delicacy
that pulled us listeners toward an expanded and undeniably lucid present.
The light was there!" |
|
 |
The music was bubbling over: immense vitality,
powerful swing and stormy horn battles are just some of the signs of
the Alan Jones Sextet. |
| The Alan Jones Sextet showed us how exciting and full
of anticipation Jazz can be. |
|
| "Jones is an exciting drummer, following "free" trends,
never heavy handed, a keen ear for the unforeseen, but just right accents." |
| Alan Jones's compositions are truly astounding! |
|
| ...but the playing of virtuoso drummer Alan Jones brought the Sextet
to a level of all time "Jazz Highlights". |
|
| [Alan Jones Sextet]...one of the most creative bands in the American
Scene! |
