The Zakk Jones Trio is a dynamic group that fluidly blends styles as varied as modern jazz, Americana/country and fusion, often even in the same songs. Between unique arrangements of classic songs/standards and original material, the trio brings any audience a fresh listening experience that’s filled with creative improvisations. Having met in their undergraduate studies years ago, the three have spent countless hours gigging, rehearsing, writing and simply hanging together, which is all an anchor for their strong musical connections. Recent performances include Dick’s Den, Brother’s Drake Meadery, the Golden Mean and acclaimed NYC venue Bar Next Door. The Fall 2018 Northeast tour will be taking the trio to Cleveland, Montague, Buffalo, Burlington and beyond, with a record on the way.

Zakk Jones is a Columbus based guitarist, composer/arranger, and teacher with a B.M. in Jazz Studies from Capital University. In his 7+ years on the Columbus scene he has had the opportunity to play at major venues and festivals both locally and all over the country. He regularly tours and performs with Safety Squad, Doc Robinson, Popgun, Chris Jamison (from NBC’s The Voice), the Andy Shaw Band, the Coasters (legendary R&B group), Tony Monaco and many more. He has studied with Stan Smith, Lage Lund, Peter Mazza, Corey Christiansen, Jonathan Kreisberg, and Gilad Hekselman among others. Besides performing, Zakk Jones is an adjunct faculty member at Mt. Vernon Nazarene University where he heads the guitar studio.
