“Jones and company seek meaning if not transcendence in improvising music…
(Rico) Jones joins Immanuel Wilkins and Joel Ross as current leaders with roots
in the Black church, famously a source for Coltrane and many others.”
— HOWARD MANDEL, DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (USA) ★★★★
“More than anything, BloodLines signals Jones’s arrival among the upper echelon of
American composers… a deeply personal body of work that rewards attentive listening.”
— PARIS MOVE (France), Indispensable
“BloodLines marks the high point of a career that has catapulted this young tenor saxophonist
to the top of the American jazz scene….A new star in the firmament of contemporary jazz.”
— ELIO BUSSOLINO, ROCKERILLA (Italy)
