Singer, songwriter, and composer Anson Jones spans jazz, folk, rock, pop, R&B and on. Her last 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’s upcoming EP, Unspoken, releases May 31 on Secret Sun Recordings. At times introspective, at times carefree, its sound is warm and vintage and vibrant. Her musical life started young, winning 6 Downbeat Magazine Student Music Awards before college. She graduated from Princeton University (’22), where she won the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts as well as the Isodore and Helen Sacks Memorial Prize in Music. Through her studies in music, architecture, and computer science, she played NYC venues like the Triad Theater, the New York Songwriters’ Circle at the Bitter End, the 5PM Series, and performed at the 2020 Litchfield Jazz Festival. She has appeared as a sideman with groups like Orrin Evans’ Captain Black Big Band, Jesse Harris, David Lopato, and the Greg Dayton Band. Anson was a 2022-2023 Fulbright Scholar & Harriet Hale Woolley grantee for composition. She spent the year living as artist-in-residence at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris writing a suite for jazz nonet inspired by Parisian examples of glass architecture.
