"Musians in their early twenties regularly astonish the world with their technique and Lee Jones has plenty of that, but it is far less common to find a fully developed personal style at such an early stage....." - Dave Gelly, The Observer

About me: Born in 1984, Lee Jones is a young British jazz-rock guitarist and composer. Lee has performed at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival Fringe and the Birmingham International Jazz Festival in recent years; appearing in Jazzwise magazine on several occasions. Lee has also performed as a sideman with American bassist/actor Tom Hill and The Straitjackets and recently as a special guest with guitar virtuoso Martin Taylor MBE at the Pizza Express, London. Winner of Jazz Fm’s “Best New Instrumentalist” award, Lee Jones completed the BMus Jazz (Hons) course at Birmingham Conservatoire in 2007. His debut album “Swish” is now available from his website and has featured in The Observer and on UK, US/Canadian jazz radio. Lee is currently touring the UK, teaching guitar privately and recording a new album for 2010 release with former WEA producer Simon Tittley.
"Certainly the most exciting young prospect I've heard in years. With the right breaks and in the right company he's sure to become one of the greats."
Jim Smith, Director Brecon Jazz Festival
Hi Lee, good to hear from you! Paris is good thanks - playing when I can and working in flim music(for my sins!) the rest of the time. I'll have to hear the new record when it's finished! See what you've been up to. Please pass on my best regards to SImon. Hope all is well. L
Hiya Lee! I'm good thanks, how are you? I haven't got anything that exciting coming up at the moment to be honest as I've been involved in a Dance Festival which has been rather time consuming. How about you? Well, the Axis festival thing is a bit of a hot potato because it hasn't actually been funded for this year which sucks a bit and it's not going ahead. So, that may be why you have found it difficult to get hold of Sara. Rx
Hi Lee! Thanks for the message, I'm glad you like my tunes! I'm in LIPA doing a Music Degree, did you do the jazz course in Birmingham? I applied to go there but figured LIPA would b more suited to me. Love the video on your page, fair play your a neat guitar player! Xx
Oops, sorry! I didn't click who you were on here. I do remember speaking to you, I had to go and work after my gig so I didn't see your set unfortunately. So you do cool 'serious' jazz whereas I mess around and people fob it off as jazz when it probably isn't really but nevermind ;-) I'm in Paris at the moment and there's an amazing jazz festival going on here. Wonderful x

Hello Lee, all is well thanks! - How are you? Yes, I am meaning to come and see you play soon; when is the next time that you are performing near here? Hope that you're good. Take care, Rosie
Hi Lee. Myspace bizzarly informed me by email that you had left me a comment then I signed in to find nothing there. Probably just a myspace error but thought I better check. Anywho.....
Hey Lee, just got myself a copy of one of your albums! It is F***ing amazing man, its a pleasure to have been there (the photoshoot) and a pleasure to listen to. Well done!
Hey man, got some new tracks, if blues/funk is to your taste! Also, keep sending me those dates, i'm bound to be free on one soon. (I wanted to go to the cuban gig but then got taken down by a gastric infection!) Peece anyway man, c u soon, Tom.
