John Jones Music

This is our first official John Jones video for Turning Me Inside Out, from 1998.
Directed and filmed by Neil Grieve and Jens Sturup.

And starring Steve Ferrone, Leeza Hoffman-Lopez and the Old Griffith Park Zoo.

Here is a decent article about Sir George Martin and AIR Studios history, printed during George’s In My Life tour.

From the April 11, 1998 edition of Billboard magazine.

A special E.S.P. Rainbow for Dee!

Magentalane by Klaatu was recorded at E.S.P. Studios, Buttonville.

The perfect accompaniment to Hitler Has Only Got One Ball.

Play them together! Jam a bit!

This was a Live Internet Broadcast from netthistv.com‘s studio, recorded March 29, 2000, of John Jones and the Minstrels, performing songs from the album, One Moment in Time

On that rainy night in Burbank, the Minstrels were, Richard Martinez (djembe), Sean Halley (guitar, vocal), and Christoph Bull (accordion, vocal). Steve Ferrone was expected to play percussion, but couldn’t find a parking spot, and missed the show!

Richard, Sean, and myself, had played a couple of the songs at the Troubador, a few months earlier. For this show we were joined by Christoph.

Big Thanks to Kevin and Rob Carmony for the video!

Here are direct links to the songs, skipping my comedic banter:

5:32 – Mad About You
10:26 – Lead Me Along (huh?)

Harry Nilsson! My understanding of calling the “doctor in the morning,” would change forever!

From Rational Youth’s #1 Song; Bang On, from 1985, to the first “million downloaded song on the internet,” by Emily Richards in 2000, John Jones has produced, co-produced, engineered, programmed, mixed, performed, written, and or, made tea for, some very important people.

Rational Youth – Duran Duran – Alan Frew/Glass Tiger – John Jones – Emily Richards

Man, this is a cool interview from NAMM 2015. Steve talks about his work.

FUNN the band, circa 1978

Thanks to Terry Draper for sharing these live recordings from nearly 40 years ago!

Our band, FUNN, were recorded at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, circa 1978 (or April 1979?). Dee Long (guitar, keys, vocals) & Terry Draper (drums, vocals)… Freddy Coutts (lead vocal, percussion), Jon Bojicic (bass, vocals) and John Jones (keys, guitar, vocals), and some great sweetening by Terry!

This was the first totally relaxed band i ever played with! Awesome musicians! And Bless Freddy! All swing and no miss!
