Since Jones Jones plays exclusively improvised music, each of their musical performances is something unique that could only be created in this particular trio constellation. The band first performed in Europe in June/July 2008 in Amsterdam, St. Petersburg and at festivals in Lithuania and Latvia. Jones Jones also performed at the 2009 Festival of New American Music in Sacramento, California. The group then returned to Europe in 2010 for the Moscow Biennale.

As a member of the Rova Saxophone Quartet since 1977, Larry Ochs has recorded more than two dozen CDs and completed 40 tours throughout Europe and Japan. He has recorded dozens of CDs with his other touring bands, including Larry Ochs Sax & Drumming Core with Scott Amendola, Don Robinson, Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura and Kihnoua with vocalist/performance artist Dohee Lee, Scott Amendola and special guests.

Vladimir Tarasov has been described by Nat Hentoff (in the Wall Street Journal) as a master of decorative brushwork, "a percussionist of rare subtlety and refinement who takes sensual pleasure in touching his extensive range of instruments, from finger bells to cymbals." From 1971 to 1986, Tarasov was a member of the well-known contemporary jazz trio GTC/The Ganelin Trio.
