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

Nicknamed Australia’s National Treasure; multi ARIA-Awarded Jones is one of the most beloved celebrated voices in Australian music, for over 5 decades he’s carved out a singular space in our musical landscape, blending cool jazz, soul and sophisticated song writing with a lyrical honesty that speaks straight to the heart. From his breakthrough in the early 80s to creating the highest-selling Oz jazz album to date ‘Come in Spinner ‘ soundtrack to performing at leading European and US festivals, Vince is recognised as one of the country’s most influential artists for his trumpeting as much as his deeply expressive vocals he doesn’t just interpret songs he inhabits them!  With 25 albums to boot, he continues to set the benchmark for Australian jazz.

This special 50th Anniversary Show promises a nostalgic celebration of much loved classics such as ~ Trustworthy Little Sweethearts * Nature of Power * ’Rainbow Cake, & many others, including one or two rarely performed Come in Spinner tunes.
