Vince Jones

There was a time when I thought I hated Jazz. I hadn't listened to anything worth a second listen and Dixieland really got up my nose (and still does). Once I was introduced to Vince Jones, all that changed.

During the 1980s he provided the soundtrack to one of the most romantic love affairs of my life. I told him so on one of the occasions I was able to meet and speak with him in the 1990s. He leaned closer to me and in his unique beat-poet voice said quietly "Do you still love her?" I replied that I did. His response was a husky whisper: "Then find her, man, and tell her". . .
