The Milford Arts Council will host a jazz concert with Mimi Jones and The Black Madonna Experience on March 14 at 7:30 p.m. at 40 Railroad Ave. S. in Milford.
Bassist/vocalist/producer/label owner and now filmmaker Mimi Jones has been on the music scene for more than two decades as a side woman to many musicians and as a leader with three CDs on her own label, Hot Tone Music, featuring the Mimi Jones Band.
Her newest release for the label is titled “Feet in the Mud.”
“Feet in the Mud refers to being true to one’s own self despite your race, age, gender, size etcetera,” Jones says.
Jones is supported by pianist Jon Cowherd, drummer Jonathan Barber and saxophonist Samir Zarif.
Born in New York City of parents from Barbados and raised in the Bronx, Jones is a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music Conservatory and has studied with Lisle Atkinson, Ron Carter, Linda McKnight, Milton Hinton and others.
