Ed
began playing saxophone at the age of 15. In 1984 he graduated from
Middlesex University with a degree in music, and for a while served an
apprenticeship as a street musician. He works in the UK and
internationally with a wide range of his own projects and
collaborations. Ed’s playing credits include George Benson, Horace
Silver, Jimmy Witherspoon, Dianne Reeves, Charles Earland, Clifford
Jarvis and Dr Lonnie Smith. “A formidable saxophonist. Ed Jones may have
hit his highest profile through his work with bands US3 and Incognito,
but he’s an improviser to his fingertips, a player of forceful
imagination and one of the UK’s most distinctive saxophonists.” - John
Fordham, The Guardian. “One of the most fluent and forceful saxophonists
in Europe” - Jack Massarik, Evening Standard.
