Sean Jones, Inspired by Miles Davis’s Jazz

Sean Jones, Inspired by Miles Davis’s Jazz

Presented by Soka Performing Arts Center at Soka Performing Arts Center

Music and spirituality have always intertwined in the artistic vision of trumpeter, composer, educator, and activist Sean Jones. As a child he performed with the church choir in his hometown and switched from the drums to trumpet upon his first exposure to Miles Davis at age ten. Twenty-five years later, he still cites Davis’s artistry and purity of sound as his greatest influence. Clearly a powerfully committed, heavily focused and deeply spiritual man, Jones taps the energies of his youthful vigor with a serious study of philosophy to fuel the pursuit of his expansive and generous vision.

The New York Times describes Sean Jones as "a trumpeter with an incisive tone and a firm grasp of jazz traditions," and JazzTimes writes, "When Jones solos, soaring with a gentle strength as his band swells behind him, it’s not just a pretty melody… It’s praise."
