"Sonic Departures is an album that definitely marks the Big Band's return to the blues scene. The nice mood of the songs, selected horns insertions, perfect guitar tones (that perfectly match with the horns), clean harmony, and vocals, all make this album a bright light among the blues albums released in 2020. With Sonic Departures, there's no doubt that JW-Jones has achieved his main goal of exchanging isolation to inspiration".

"Canadian JW Jones released his debut album in 2000. Since then he has recorded with Kim Wilson, Charlie Musselwhite, Little Charlie Baty, Hubert Sumlin, David "Fathead" Newman, and others. His eighth album, "High Temperature", won the award for "Best Self-Produced CD" ... In 2020 Jones, representing the Ottawa Blues Society, returned to the IBC and won the "Gibson Guitar Award", presented to the best band guitarist ... We live in difficult times, this new album from JW Jones, is just what the doctor ordered".
