Over a professional career spanning two decades, guitarist and singer John Evan-Jones played with a number of bands, often alongside his brother Trevor (or "Gypsy") Chaos & Co., Mickey Finn, Anno Domini, Jonesy, Brothers Jones. He was also a respected session musician, working with Jeff Beck, Arthur Brown, Jake Holmes, Tom Jones, and Dusty Springfield, among others.
The album, "Collage", was cut at Command Studios in London, featured Australians Alan Tarney and Trevor Spencer (both ex-Quartet) and the British/American James Kaleth. It was the standard melodic singer/songwriter affair, its highlight being the conclusive "Live In 2", where John Jones showed all his fine guitar playing ability. A second solo album "Just A Few Changes" was recorded (but not released) and no one knows its whereabouts today. The meeting with Kaleth, who had moved from Chicago to Lancashire in 1959 and had previously played for one year with White Summer and for a very short time with Crowjane (formed by three ex-Gracious members), gave birth to a new band, called Jonesy.
