Jack Jones is the very definition of a complete and total entertainer.

Jones' professional debut was a brief stint as part of his father's act at the Thunderbird Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas when he was just 19 years old. As his career gained momentum, Jones developed a deep appreciation for well constructed songs that also have emotional appeal. His respect for songs that tell stories with meaning and beauty led him to record works by the greatest balladeers of all time: Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen, Cole Porter, the Gershwin's, Harold Arlen, Michel Legrand and Alan & Marilyn Bergman. He was inspired by great Jazz instrumentalists he discovered during his teen years such as Gerry Mulligan, Clark Terry, Buddy Rich, Bob Brookmeyer, Dave Pell Octet, Marty Paiche Dectet, Shorty Rogers and the Giants, and Count Basie. Jones' talent and commitment to his art earned him two Grammy's for "Best Pop Male Vocal Performance" with his singles "Lollipops and Roses" by Anthony Velona and Bacharach/ David's "Wives and Lovers". His release, "Jack Jones Paints a Tribute to Tony Bennett," was nominated for "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance." He was also nominated for "The Impossible Dream" and his recording of "Wives and Lovers" was nominated for "Record of the Year." His hit records include "The Race Is On", "Lady", "Call Me Irresponsible," and "What I Did for Love." On April 13, 1989, he was honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, close to where his father, Allen Jones', star is located.

Jones is also renowned as a leading interpreter of musical theater - with acclaimed performances in Guys and Dolls, South Pacific, She Loves Me, and The Pajama Game. Over the years he has guest-starred on countless episodic and/or comedy television series. Most recently, Jones starred as Don Quixote inMan of La Mancha in the national tour and recently completed a guest-starring role in the British comedy film "Cruise of the Gods."

With over 50 recorded albums (17 of them charting Billboard's Top 20) and consistently sold-out world tours, Jack Jones continues to charm audiences with his wit, sensitivity and vocal power. In addition to a successful recording career, Jones' impressive credits include film and television roles; an internationally syndicated TV variety show; performances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the White House. He has also performed and later recorded popular theme songs for film and TV ("Love with a Proper Stranger", "The Love Boat").

Today, Jack can be found performing concerts to sold-out audiences around the globe at performing arts centers, casinos, symphony halls and even intimate cabarets. Jones' musical perfection and vocal passion unfailingly illustrate why he stands with the luminaries.
