Darius Jones
“…The most visceral and distinctive alto saxophonist of this era.”
– The New York Times
Darius Jones has created a recognizable voice as a critically acclaimed saxophonist and composer by embracing individuality and innovation in the tradition of African-American music. Jones has been awarded the Van Lier Fellowship, Jerome Foundation Commission, Jerome Artist-in-Residence at Roulette, French-American Jazz Exchange Award, and, in 2019, the Fromm Music Foundation commission at Harvard University. Jones’s music is a confrontation against apathy and ego, hoping to inspire authenticity that compels us to be better humans. LEARN MORE.
