"One of this country's top blues guitar stars"
Globe and Mail
"Jones' style is a fluid amalgam of
T-Bone Walker's big, bright chords, Johnny 'Guitar'
Watson's slashing leads, and Gatemouth Brown's
jazzy sting".
Blues Revue Magazine
"(Part of) a new wave of young talent moving
onto Canada’s
blues stage."
Billboard Magazine
"It makes me feel satisfied that
JW is now at the top of the new generation of torch
carriers for
the Blues. I have known JW for sometime now, and he
is a true defender of REAL, Classic Blues.
He plays it , feels and thinks it like the old
Masters did, and that's a hell of an accomplishment
for a
young man from Canada"
Otis Grand
"His fat guitar sound gives Jones a
leg up on the competition"
All About Jazz
"One of the best young blues players around today,
he has my vote"
Finis Tasby
"Tones as thick and layered as a
16-ounce 'T-Bone Walker' steak"
Gary Tate Review
"I was offstage listening to JW sit in with the band
[The Mannish Boys], and there were no less than three
guitar players up there [Kid Ramos, Rusty Zinn, JW]. It
was refreshing and exciting to see a younger guitar
player- ANY guitar player - really play live; listening
to the other guys, reacting, digging down and looking
for rhythm parts, simple horn-section ideas, things that
really make music... well alright then!"
Mitch Kashmar
"Once in a while you come across a guitar player who
can play all the grooves and bags. JW-Jones is one
of those guys"
Lynwood Slim
