Darryl Evan Jones brings the flute's classic vibe, rich melodic and harmonic possibilities to a new generation.

The musical style of Darryl Evan Jones is truly original - combining the genres of Jazz, Classical, and Gospel music. He calls his style Instrumental Soul. Darryl insists that he’s a soul singer who can’t sing, but expresses his emotions through the flute.

Born and raised in the South Bronx, music was originally introduced as an alternative to the lure of the streets and other ills of the projects. Soon, it became evident that music was more than a distraction. It was a calling. Darryl began to develop a very unique musical voice that was simply undeniable.

Darryl Evan Jones' journey has brought him to performance stages like The Cannon Center in Memphis, Philadelphia's Mandell Theater, and the Capital Jazz Fest. He's also been the opening act for artists like Howard Hewett, Jeff Lorber, Kem, Boney James, and has shared the stage with Marion Meadows. Darryl is also the winner of the "Solo Instrumental" category in the (International) 2024 Made In New York Jazz Competition, representing the United States.

Since the release of his “Relentless” album, Darryl has made quite a stir with this memorable project. Darryl Evan Jones unfolds the diversity of the flute as only a master of this instrument can do; a valuable asset to those who love this instrument and all other contemporary jazz fans.

"On The Run", the first radio single from the "Resilient" album has already made waves by making its mark on the Radio Wave Groove Jazz and SJ Network Charts. The release of the second radio single "Road Trip, combined with the release of "Resilient" is sure to cement Darryl Evan Jones as a bonafide force in Contemporary Jazz.

Single Description

"Resilient" is a "statement piece" of musical and personal triumph. This uptempo muse is dedicated to that "never give up" spirit that is necessary to get more out of life than just accepting whatever comes your way. "Resilient" has incredible energy that will have even the most rhythmically challenged among us moving to the beat.
