Darryl Evan Jones, the dynamic flutist and instrumental soul artist, has solidified his place as a global force in contemporary jazz. Known as the "Ambassador of Instrumental Soul," the Bronx-born musician's journey began with a notable appearance on Showtime At The Apollo in the late 1990s. From there, Jones founded JonesStar Entertainment LLC and went on to release chart-topping albums like On My Own (2000), Dream (2006), Relentless (2013), and his latest Resilient (2024). His collaboration with artists like Jim Woodlyn, Adam Hawley, and Wayne Garrick has earned him recognition on smooth jazz charts such as Radio Wave Groove Jazz, SJ Network, and Smoothjazz.club.
A recognized talent, Jones has opened for iconic artists like Boney James, Howard Hewett, and Jeff Lorber, and he recently won the 2024 “Made In New York Jazz Competition” Solo Instrumental Category.
Now, Darryl Evan Jones takes a bold detour from his Resilient album with the release of a deeply evocative single titled Mi Antilles. Released in honor of Black History Month, Mi Antilles pays tribute to the African ancestors who were brought to the Caribbean to work on plantations. With rich Afro-Caribbean influences, Jones creates a stirring instrumental piece that honors the legacy of these individuals, celebrating their strength and resilience.
The highly anticipated single will be available for digital download and streaming worldwide starting January 31, 2025. Mi Antilles is already making waves, capturing the hearts of music lovers worldwide through its powerful YouTube preview.
