The Jessica Jones Quartet is an improvising jazz ensemble which performs original experimental music.

Combining two tenor saxophones with bass and drums, the group creates an exciting, robust new soundscape. The over 30 years of partnership between Jessica and Tony are apparent in the intimacy and spontaneity of their collective sound.

The Quartet has played venues on the East and West Coasts, including Yoshi’s and Dizzy’s Club, and at the Knitting Factory Festival in New York City and other festivals on the West Coast, including headlined with special guest Don Cherry. The group has released several CDs to critical acclaim, including Nod, featuring Tristano-lineage pianist Connie Crothers and Joseph Jarman of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, and their most recent, Moxie. Poets, storytellers, and guest musicians often augment the core quartet as the band continues to explore creative alliances.
