Featured Artist of the Year

Ed Jones started on the piano, trumpet, and drums at age 4, then made the natural switch to oboe.  Having mastered all instruments by age 7, he acquired a set of turkish finger cymbals and studied intensenly with Yoksel Azmek.  Only then did he realize the endless possibilities of midi accordion and the vast musical universe of Chubby Checker.  He has worked with Frank Mills and had a brief stint with the Santa Paula Symphony including tours of Europe and Eastern Asia and is now working with sheet metal and drywall in Detroit.
