4th Avenue Jones

(Excerpt biography courtesy of Gotee Records)
4th Avenue Jones is a band that has consistently pushed the boundaries of its sound—a groundbreaking blend of rock, soul and hip-hop influences with energy reminiscent of the glory days when music was art and innovation was king.
 

The 4th Avenue Jones' 'Hiprocksoul' is a flavor that defies conventional songwriting with a combination of energy and precision. 4th Avenue Jones was conceived in 1997 by Ahmad Jones, known to long time Hip Hop fans as Ahmad. In 2000 the band was formed, and the Jones' independently pressed and distributed their first full album No Plan B.

Interscope Records caught wind of the 4th Avenue Jones' buzz, and quickly offered the band a deal. "drummy" dave duMonde was a member of that first band formation, playing, recording and touring with them until 2002. 4th Ave electrified audiences, sharing the stage with such notables as Sheryl Crow, Macy Gray, The Roots, James Brown, Black Eyed Peas, Musiq, and others.
