Vocalist, composer and songwriter Anson Jones lists an eclectic palate of inspirations - her voice has a classic warmth, but her music has a wide sonic range that blends genres together with sensitivity. Anson started her musical life young, winning 6 Downbeat Magazine Student Music Awards during high school. She graduated from Princeton University (’22), where she won the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts and the Isodore and Helen Sacks Memorial Prize in Music. Through college, she played her music in NYC venues like the Triad Theater, in showcases like the New York Songwriters’ Circle at the Bitter End, the 5PM Series, performed at the 2020 Litchfield Jazz Festival, and has sung with groups like Orrin Evans’ Captain Black Big Band and the Greg Dayton band. Now, Anson is in Paris on a Fulbright & Harriet Hale Woolley grant for composition, writing a suite inspired by Parisian examples of glass architecture. Her recent EP, A Way With Words, (Modern Icon Recordings via Ropeadope) got a 4 1/2 star review from Downbeat Magazine, which praised it as “poppy, expressive, vibrant, rich and textured, … finding all the right tones of jazz, R&B, and singer-songwriter.” Anson has an interdisciplinary mind - at school, she minored in architecture, cognitive science, and computer science. In the past, she worked in architecture firms and as a data science intern at a neuroscience lab, and she is an avid visual artist as well.
