  • Bio

    John Jones' whole life has been centered around music. He heard The Beatles and Rufus & Chaka Khan from the time he was born. He had his first record player at age two. His first records? Not Mary Had a Little Lamb or Sesame Street...try The Ronettes, Beach Boys, and Heart. He started studying piano at age nine. After a pre-teen fling with Top 40 pop, he discovered R&B and jazz in high school, and shifted his piano training to classical. His 20's and 30's led him to electronica as well as the singer-songwriter movement of the 60's and 70's. These days, his influences are so varied, the best genre John can come up with for his music is...well, "music." After the triumphs of R&B diva Maysa recording his ballad "Everything" for her 2002 album "Out of the Blue" and John's hip-hop/jazz hybrid "Honeybee" on 2010's "A Woman in Love," John began recording his own albums. 2006's "Homegrown" finds John in a confessional, singer/songwriter frame of mind, while 2010's "Shine Right Where You Are" puts the emphasis on heavy beats and soulful harmonies. Both albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, and cdbaby.com.

     I'm not sure what's going on here.  I logged in today, my first time in a couple of months, and it shows me approving friend requests earlier this week.  Plus because of the cross-referencing with my common name, it's showing 20 entries in my Albums - I personally have released TWO.

    If you're interested in THIS John Jones, with the songs on this page, please check me out at Facebook.  I think I'll be deleting this mess soon.  www.facebook.com/johnjoneschi

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF LIFE ...

    "DIFFICULT TIMES have helped me to understand better than before, how INFINITELY RICH AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE IS IN EVERY WAY,  and that SO MANY THINGS that one goes WORRYING ABOUT are of NO IMPORTANCE WHATSOEVER."

    LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE ~ BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY!

Bio:

John Jones' whole life has been centered around music. He heard The Beatles and Rufus & Chaka Khan from the time he was born. He had his first record player at age two. His first records? Not Mary Had a Little Lamb or Sesame Street...try The Ronettes, Beach Boys, and Heart. He started studying piano at age nine.

His 20's and 30's led him to electronica as well as the singer-songwriter movement of the 60's and 70's. These days, his influences are so varied, the best genre John can come up with for his music is...well, "music." After the triumph of R&B diva Maysa recording his ballad "Everything" for her 2002 album "Out of the Blue," John's songwriting muse started working overtime: his catalog of originals is nearing the 50-song mark. A dozen of those tunes are featured on his independent debut album, "Homegrown." The CD is available on iTunes, cdbaby.com, and indierhythm.com. When he's not recording or rehearsing songs for various piano bar shows around Chicago, John can be found working out at Cheetah Gym, challenging friends at Mario Kart, or relaxing with an episode of Roseanne or Will & Grace.
