About Dave Jones

I am a jazz saxophonist (tenor and soprano). I play big band swing (danceable!), latin and bossa nova (Girl From Ipanema, etc.), bluesy ballads (Sinatra style) and rocking Dixieland (When The Saints, etc.). Anytime and anywhere I play, people have a good time - just read these reviews! "Dave's music adds nuance and entertainment value to our restaurant - he integrates his playing into our environment without overpowering our customers!" - Rob Stinson (owner, Salute) "Our (wedding) reception was at the Biloxi Visitors Center ... (Dave's band) performed so well and all attendees were extremely happy with the performance. The music selection was great and they were easy to work with. I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks Dave, it was truly a great event and I will be telling all my friends and family to get you for all events!" - Blake (groom) "Thank you so much for making our Garden Club meeting a real party. Loved your music and appreciated your professional yet easy going style. The ladies loved you! Please feel free to use me as a reference. Looking forward to seeing you again." - Tana B. "Dave seems to read the room - knowing when to make the music jump, and when to mellow it out." - Restaurateur, New Orleans "Dave was professional and accommodating with his music and he was a great addition to our evening that helped make it a success!" - Corporate event planner, New Orleans "We very much enjoy the soothing atmosphere that Dave brings into our restaurant. Customers love him!" - Restraunteur, Biloxi, MS "Dave Jones is off the charts amazing!!! My wedding guests are still talking about how talented he is and how his music made the event so special. Having Dave play at our wedding made our wedding so much more upscale - and our venue was amazing... but with Dave there, it was all that much better! He is THE BEST!" - Kristine M. "Thank you for helping to make our daughter's special day perfect! Your music was exactly what we needed to set the tone for the evening. In fact, I am hoping to find another reason to celebrate soon and you will be at the top of my list!" - Sherri B. "Dave was extremely professional. He was accessible prior to my event, had reasonable rates, showed up ON TIME, and my group was very happy with his performance. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Dave!!!" - Dionne D, New Orleans I usually play as a solo performer, using "backing tracks" I mostly make myself, played through my excellent sound system. I pride myself in playing the right music AT THE RIGHT VOLUME LEVEL, whatever the occasion. I also can include an excellent "American Songbook" singer (Shari Pol, when available), or put together a jazz quartet for you. Whichever you choose, you will find that my music livens up your event, without stealing the show!
