This Portland roots artist has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. Enthusi- astic crowds can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his back porch picking, his funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and old- school rhythm and blues. Yet he may be the most invisible, best- kept blues and Americana secret on the contemporary scene. Jones is a master of the soulful understatement, the raw growl and the groove. From his roots in muddy Or- egon soil, he’s forged a 30-plus- year career as an impassioned singer and guitar slinger, a soul- ful songwriter, a bandleader, record producer and an almost strident torchbearer for all that’s true and good about America’s music. He’s shared stages and spot- lights with Albert Collins, Cray, Raitt, Delbert McClinton, Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Dr. John, John Hammond, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, and a hundred more. And, except for Albert and Junior, Jones’ timeless, VZDPSL¿HG $PHULFDQ VRQJ- writing style is tailor-made for dancing. Submitted photo Lloyd Jones will perform at Sweet Basil’s Cafe in Cannon Beach on May 2. McClinton said, “When I heard Lloyd Jones live for the ¿UVW WLPH LQ -DQXDU\ LW was like exhaling after holding my breath for 15 years!” When he plays Sweet Basils, the room gets quiet, people stop eating and all eyes turn to the bluesman in the corner of the room. Jones delivers a night of joy, fun and outstanding mu- sic. He is no poser; no young- ster who copped a couple of quick blues licks and headed for the big time with a cocky swagger and a brand-new Strat. You see it in his face when he plays — the ear-to-ear grin, the soul-gripping grimace when he bites off another stinging note. Sweet Basils is located at 271 N. Hemlock St. For infor- PDWLRQFDOO JAZZ In the M c T a vish Room N a nc y King S tev e C hris to ffers o n 2 PM S unda y • M a y 3 $20-$25 Tickets available at the Liberty Theater Box Office or through Tickets West
