Big Twang Guitar
"Jinx is a guitar virtuoso who seamlessly moves from rockabilly to jazz to twang and back again, sometimes in the same song. Those with a liner note obsession will remember Jinx’s playing on En Vogue’s “Free Your Mind.”
(San Francisco Chronicle)
“Jinx Jones is out there. Four or five nights a week, the great guitar player with the immaculate pompadour can be found at various Bay Area venues, working the stage, doing his thing. The Colorado native came up serving as a sideman to rock ’n’ roll royalty, playing with the likes of Chuck Berry and Solomon Burke.”
Aidin Vaziri, San Francisco Chronicle’s pop music critic, 2014

“Imagine an advanced guitar textbook on 10. Listeners all will doubtless be thunderstruck by Jinx's authoritative command of labrythinian note aggregates, lightning- fleet navigations, and esoteric chordal modes. One intuits they are in the twang-upholstered, jazzy Court of a flat- gone Monarch, one for whom fair Aoede is a favored midnight-hour ship.”
