Jinx Jones honed his musical skills on the burgeoning Denver original
music scene of the 1970’s and 1980’s. With brief stints
in both Los Angeles and Houston, Jones’ studied music in concert
halls, nightclubs, and theaters throughout the United States.
Jinx has led his own bands with significant success in both Colorado
and California. His first showcase band was Jinx Jones and the Jaguars,
who in the early 1980’s had several records on regular rotation
airplay in the Denver market. The band relocated to Los Angeles
where they were immediately noticed by the musical press. In the
mid 1980’s Jinx formed Jinx Jones and Friends, which became
the most popular attraction in the Denver area through the end of
the decade.
During the 1990’s Jones performed with many groups in the
San Francisco bay area, where he currently lives. He explored rockabilly
and American roots music with the Bachelors, and also formed his
own jazz trio that currently performs many of the jazz clubs in
San Francisco.
In Jinx Jones’ impressive musical career he has visited nearly
every conceivable style and genre of the electric guitar. From his
work with R&B divas, En Vogue to his own acclaimed rockabilly
albums, “License to Twang,” and the latest release;
“Rumble & Twang,” Jones has always strived to expand
the possibilities of the instrument. He accepts every musical challenge
head on, always making an impressive statement with his music. The
one thing that remains consistent throughout Jones’ multi-stylistic
journey is the grace and finesse of his virtuoso playing.
