Mimi Jones (born March 25, 1972, in New York City)[1] is an American bassist, vocalist, composer, bandleader, education and founder of Hot Tone Music.[2]
For more than two decades, bassist/vocalist/producer/label owner and now filmmaker Mimi Jones has reigned supreme, as a side woman to an impressive coterie of musicians and as a leader with three CDs on her own label, Hot Tone Music . Her elegant sound is an eclectic mix of genres, based on a strong jazz foundation that leaves room for funky bass grooves, world beat rhythms, and gentle textures.
Mimi also serves as co-director (with ArcoIris Sandoval) of the D.O.M.E. Experience, a multimedia project that fosters awareness of environmental and social issues—within the local community and globally—through choreography, composition, and cinematography.[4]
