Sweet Success
Multi-instrumentalist Polo Jones began playing bass when he was ten years old. His first band experience was with his parents - Paul Sr., who blows a mean saxophone, and Inez, a legendary pianist and singer in her own right. At the tender age of 14, Polo was asked to go on tour with Blues legend John Lee Hooker. It's been a long, fantastic ride ever since.
His love for music drove Polo to expand his abilities to include Rock, Funk and Jazz as well as Blues. A versatile and talented musician by the early seventies, Polo was working with Larry Graham, "Hot Chocolate," Walter Hawkins and Sly Stone.
After touring through the seventies and early eighties, Polo pursued a short solo career. In 1985, he received a call from producer Corrado Rustici (Zucchero, Andrea Bocelli) to join "Holiday of Hands", a fusion pop band. Shortly thereafter Polo began recording albums in Europe. Now with many multi-platinum recordings under his belt Polo is again reinventing himself.
Polo's Bass style is both solid and expressive, which has made him an asset to the many rhythm sections he has been a part of. Other instruments in Polo's arsenal include Bass synthesizer, Guitar, Drums and Keyboards. But a world class entertainer is only the beginning for Polo; he has also produced some varied and innovative projects, from language tapes to Movie Soundtracks, and from Rock n' Roll to Country.
Currently Polo is musical director for Zucchero's ZU and Co. featuring such artists as: Eric Clapton, Soloman Burke, Cheb Mami, David Sancious, Brian May, Luciano Pavarotti , and Delores O Rioidian to name a few.
To capture his sound, Polo uses our WT800 to power a pair of D410XLTs. |
