“Jinx Jones can indeed dazzle, Jones comps while launching melodic lines in a repertoire consisting of standards by Montgomery, Kessel, Lionel Hampton, and Benny Goodman, with his original “Alise” lending a Latin mood. Most impressive is Jones’ arrangement of Miles Davis’ “So What,” mixing percussive rhythm, singe-note passages, and octaves in the modal masterpiece.” Dan Forte, Vintage Guitar Magazine, 2018.
