About Jason Jetplane Jones Jason Jetplane is a music producer aspiring to be an artist that wants to make a permanent mark in the music industry. Some say his sound is a cross between Maxwell, Ryan Leslie, Musiq, and John Legend, while still possessing his very own unique sound. His debut album “Love Boulevard” encompasses old school and new school music, that some say could very well be the next musical trend in the near future. Even though he is in the beginning phases as an artist, he is definitely not new to the scene as a pianist, composer and producer. His resume as a producer is growing, with hopes to work with some major artists in the near future. sponsored by Sippin On Ink: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sippin-on-ink    Blacksonville: http://www.blacksonville.com Bofresco Clothing http://www.bofresco.com Blink Virtual Buzz http://www.blinkvirtualbuzz.com MosaicJacksonville.com http://www.mosaicjacksonville.com Established in April 2000, Soul Release is the longest running spoken word poetry and soul music series in northeast Florida.
