Han er en af grundlæggerne af Ezra Collective og en visionær soloartist. Joe Armon-Jones kommer fra den sprudlende engelske jazzscene, der blander den moderne jazz og fusionsjazz (tænk Return to Forever og Miles Davis’ elektriske periode) med hiphop, dub og andre af Londons elektroniske genreforskydninger.
Joe Armon-Jones kombinerer den frie og dynamiske energi med en musikalsk vision. Solodebuten “Starting Today” udkom på Brownwood Recordings og blev nomineret efterfølgende nomineret til årets jazzalbum hos Worldwide Awards. Hans musik har vundet indpas på Spotify med 2.5 millioner plays samt på Radio 1, World Wide FM, og især BBC Radio 6’s UK Jazz Special med Gilles Peterson, hvilket gør Joe Armon-Jones til et af de mest populære navne fra den nye britiske jazzbølge sammen med bl.a. Shabaka Hutchings’ Sons of Kemet og Yussef Kamaal.
Den talentfulde producer og tangentspiller har samlet et band fra den eklektiske, engelske musikscene, som man kan opleve for første gang i København på Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2019 – den 8. juli åbner Joe Armon-Jones den nye koncertrække på Loppen.
