John Jones Music

Live in a small club in Copanhagen!

Written and recorded in late 1995, after the outpouring of hate during the O.J. Simpson trial, which was somewhat of a precursor to 2017’s year of madness.
All instruments and vocals by John Jones. Released in 2016 on Songs of 1994-1995

TBT – My first Christmas in Hollywood. Recorded December 24, 1993. Feeling it, I had to sing it.

I only had my Beatles Lyrics book, and no copy of the song, so my version is from memory, with me doing John Lennon (in my mind), rather than John Lennon doing bob dylan, as in the original. 🙂

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been less than 100 years since this ad for the Victor Talking Machine Company was published.

Are we selling music, or the machine?

Here is the long lost episode of the BBC’s “Science in Action” program from 1987. In this segment we discuss the Fairlight CMI Series III in Studio 5 at AIR Studios Oxford Street, and I show how to sample using a Casio sampler.
We sold the Series III to J. J. Jeczalik of the Art of Noise a few weeks after taping…

This is our first official John Jones video for Turning Me Inside Out, from 1998.
