Described by the Herald's jazz writer, John Shand, as " unique crossover force in Australian music", Vince Jones tackles that blurry genre somewhere between jazz, blues, folk and scat.

If his recent Moving Through Taboos is any guide, Jones is enjoying one of his golden periods. His trumpet playing has never been more assured, or his singing as subtle. Indeed, Moving Through Taboos has been praised for its originality and heartfelt emotion. "[The songs] have real substance and glisten with nuance," writes Shand.
Having been raised on the music of Stevie Wonder, Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears, his music has always had a funky, bluesy edge. Jones's newer compositions see him drawing on his early life growing up on the South Coast - his parents migrated from Scotland to Wollongong.
