About Me |
|
| Melvin Jones possesses a stylistic philosophy, an almost hypnotic sound, and technical facility found among few trumpeters his age. He seems to shine seamlessly in almost any musical setting. Whether he's playing lead trumpet, screaming on top of a professional horn section, performing serious classical repertoire, or stepping out in front of a quartet and leading a jam session, this young man proves to be quite capable of capturing the attention of any audience.Melvin first began his professional musical journey in 1998 while attending Morehouse College when he made an appearance on TLCs triple platinum hit album Fanmail. Since then, this Memphis, Tennessee native has shared the stage with a diverse range of musical icons such as Quincy Jones, Jon Faddis, Antonio Hart, Jennifer Lopez, Carmen Lundy, Kirk Whalum, Ray Charles, Erykah Badu, Marc Anthony, Illinois Jacquet, George Bohannan, Clark Terry, and Omar, a British Pop sensation to name a few.While pursuing a Master's Degree at the Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Jersey, Jones received the potent and intensive instruction of world-renowned educator and trumpeter, William Prof Fielder, whose student roster includes such prolific musical figures as Wynton Marsailis, Terrence Blanchard, David Sanchez, and Kenny Garrett. After completing his graduate studies, Melvin immediately began instructing privately and giving lectures at various universities and high schools while continuing to perform across the country. A consummate and erudite musician, Melvin hopes to one day join that particular delineation of artists that have played a vital part in the advancement of their respective art. Currently, Melvin maintains the position as Director of Bands for Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia while continuing to pursue a rigorous recording/performing career.
