John Jones Music

Best wishes of the season to all of my friends, family and associates! Cheers!

I was reminded of a time, far away, long ago…

A Christmas gift from Toronto Sound Studios to John Jones, from 1976.

Somewhere, lurking on the various pages of my site, are other Christmas messages – like this one from 2001 and another silly one from 2008 with your Christmas card and some lovely Coyote sounds from the Dell.

At least it is tonight!

A fun evening was had by all in the historic Studio A of Capitol Studios in Hollywood for the Launch of Walter Afanasieff’s new ISINA project.

ISINA asks;
Are you a singer, instrumentalist, sound engineer, composer or electronic music DJ?
Have you ever wanted to have your work featured, professionally recorded and distributed around the world by Bungalo and Universal Music Group Distribution?
Are you ready to shine like the star that you are?
The All-New ISINA Academy is offering 100% FREE world-class training and full-access admission to the inner world of the music industry to a select group of talented artists.

And you get Walter and Kenny and Babyface and Humberto and Frank and many more to help make it a reality!

I rode in on a horse with super producer, engineer, mixer, Skip Saylor of Skip Saylor Studio in Northridge. We’ve been working together on the Meninos Do Morumbi project for Music is Hope Foundation and on the Nick Wood album for Syn Songs. Skip mixed the Meninos & Julian Lennon version of Summertime, which is currently rising up the radio charts across the USA…
