TO RELEASE THE FIFTH CD BY SEAN JONES

SEAN JONES
Sean Jones | The Search Within [Mack Avenue, 2009]
Beginning with his Mack Avenue Records debut in 2004, Eternal Journey, trumpeter-bandleader Sean Jones has embarked on a series of quests, passionately plumbing the depths of different wellsprings of his life as a musician. Recorded when he was 24, Eternal Journey was his awakening, “my first step out into the recording world,” Jones says.
That was followed by more steps as well as leaps, with the theme of personal navigation at the center of his vision. Jones has developed into one of jazz’s top young trumpeters, known for both his lyrical fluidity and high-tier technical facility. “The idea of being on a journey has been in line with all my albums,” he says. “My second album, Gemini, explored both sides of my musical loves, r&b and jazz. I expanded that with Roots, where I revisited my youth and paid tribute to gospel. And then on Kaleidoscope, I created a collage of sounds, exploring different timbres by enlisting vocalists to be collaborators.”
