"Jones is a great trumpet player and songwriter. There is a lot of evidence of that on this disc. He has a real talent for setting the mood and keeping you in the moment. Check out the elegant horn work on a tune like "L' Flight". Jones knows his instrument well and plays with a virtuoso passion."
Bill Fountain - Texas Blues Magazine
"There was a time in certain neighborhoods across the country when musicians would meet at a street corner and try to outplay each other. That's the world that trumpeter Freddie Jones grew up in. Freddie explains, "If you didnt win, you didn't have a girlfriend". That's some serious motivation to practice ... the practice has paid off for Freddie.."

He never fails to pull in the audience and deliver an exciting performance."
