About this album

On The Brink Of It is a polished and persuasive statement from Australian jazz trumpeter and vocalist Vince Jones. Issued in 1985, the album set his cool tone, supple phrasing and melodic restraint within a contemporary jazz setting that balanced lyrical standards with sharper original material. Jones’s approach gives familiar songs a fresh poise rather than flashy reworking, while the title track and pieces such as Pablo (Lady Z) underline his gift for elegant, understated writing. As part of the 1980s Australian jazz scene, the record helped establish Jones as one of the country’s most distinctive modern jazz voices.
