Stuart Jones (composer)

Stuart Jones is an English composer and musician from Birmingham, who records on the label New World Music. He teaches in Birmingham.
Jones is also a dance music artist, regularly contributing to compilations and collections of Drum and Bass, House, and Trance music alongside artists such as DJ Luck and the Artful Dodger. It is Jones' work in new-age music that has gained the most recognition. He began recording for the New World Music label, in 1995 with "Love Eternal". Fusing new age music ideas with dance music styles, Jones became one of the label's best-selling artists with 1998's album "Lifeforce". His soft jazz release "Late Into The Night", broadened his audience. Subsequent releases such as "Lazy Days" (featuring vocalist Sarah Jane) and "Pure Calm", have established Jones as one of the genre's most innovative and progressive voices. Stuart Jones maintains a healthy performance schedule on a variety of circuits, making appearances in symphony halls and dancehalls alike.
He composed a classical symphony, "Symphony in F", two stage musicals "Shirt and Tie", and "Picture This Picture Life", and finally a modern "Concerto for acoustic speed funk pianos".
Jones is also noted for his TV music with KPM and Stock, the most notable appearance of his music being on the soap opera "Emmerdale".
Stuart Jones works mainly as a solo artist and appears on YouTube videos with his piano-duelling duo Blister, teaming up with musician Sniper, many of the videos being featured on "NME".
A Cambridge University PhD by Frances Ragni is based on his improvisations.
