The Equanimous Jones Quartet was conceived and molded by their leader and mentor, Mr. Equanimous Jones. The musicians assembled for this enterprise have several years of experience performing contemporary and traditional jazz, r&b, as well as composing, arranging and producing original music.
Our debut cd, "Calm Down, It's Christmas", is a unique collection of holiday music - varied and innovative expressions of the traditional holiday season. There's something for everyone on this cd - jazz, blues, classical, country - songs for distinguished tastes, and music that will liven up any holiday celebration.
"Calm Down, It's Christmas" is available at CDBaby.com:
"Smoother than Chocolate" is the second release from The Equanimous Jones Quartet, focusing one of our favorite holidays, Valentine's Day. On this cd, the music is universal - you can enjoy it any time of the night or day, and any day of the year. We decided to venture further out into the universe by recording some of our own original material, as well as covers of a few popular love songs. The feel of the cd is r&b/jazz - music that's designed to make you relax and enjoy life. You'll find yourself movin' your head to the beat, or reflecting on life in some meaningful way, or just listening and imagining yourself in that place - you know, the one where you'd like to be. We wanted to make music that we've felt in our hearts and creative minds that truly expresses our musical emotions, our positive outlook on life - music that our listeners will enjoy. So listen and enjoy, and feel the smoothness of the chocolate as it rolls over the taste buds of your musical mind.
