Saxophonist/keyboardist Bernell Jones II hails from New York via Memphis, TN, and his music reflects a balance between those two locales: the Big Apple’s fabled jazz presence, and the innovative soul and Memphis’ beloved soul music. Mentored by veterans Greg Tardy and Vincent Herring, Jones plays with a lyrical style that’s made him a valuable hired gun for Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and the Philip Harper Quintet. Backed by the cream of ATX’s jazz scene, including bassist Ryan Hagler, drummer Daniel Dufour and rising keyboard star Dayne Reliford, Jones will no doubt preview his new EP Supernov-a, which drops the day after.
