“The Ambassador of Instrumental Soul,” as per his website, Darryl Evan Jones is a jazz flutist and composer, having appeared at clubs, festivals, and theaters across the U.S. and beyond, and won of the 2024 Made In New York Jazz Competition. In his recent LP, Resilient, Jones leads a tight group on “On the Run,” and “Road Trip” (we prefer the funkier remix version that closes the album). To coincide with Black History Month, Jones released “Mi Antilles,” upbeat, and references styles and sounds from the Caribbean and Africa. Perhaps it boils down to taste, but there is only so much versatility that flute-led instrumentals can have without sounding like repetitive background-at-a-nice-restaurant music.
