- “Jones’ musical style falls within the great American symphonic tradition of Copland, Barber, Hanson, and Piston, utilizing a primarily tonal language accented by occasional dissonant and atonal elements...The music’s beauty and narrative quality keeps you ever attentive and listening for the next sequence, which is always rewarding.”
