He appears with both local and national artists on more than 30 CDs and DVDs. Mr. Jones has composed over 40 pieces of music for various diverse ensembles. His compositions

He was a founding member of the award winning Craig

A performance/recording project titled “EARWORM” features various creative musicians interpreting original compositions and

Here are two reviews...
Reviewer: CD Baby
The beauty of
Warren L. Jones III's album, "Bridges" is that one could spend hours picking apart the subtle touches that give
it that special "something", those almost imperceptible nuances of syncopation, the delicate back and forth conversational
strands between guitar and piano, the gentle twist of a melody outlining a surprisingly fresh chord that pricks the imagination
and lifts the eyebrows, the effortless transition between the sly and moody atmospheres transitioning into the sassy and proud
ones- all of these artistic and mind-blowing is components could be explored endlessly, but regardless it suffices to say
that if music theory escapes you, there will be no loss of pleasure or appreciation in listening to this album. While the
ingredients alone are stunning, the final product, the journey of this eleven-track album is thoroughly unforgettable.
Reviewer: A Fan
I came across this CD while randomly browsing here at CDBaby and was wowed when I listened to the samples.
I bought it and now can't stop listening to it. Where did these guys come from?! Every track is superb. The piano is great
and the guitar playing is awesome. The writing is top notch and the standards have great twists. Plus the recording sound
is perfect. Please make a follow-up to this album with the same lineup!
