About 4th Avenue Jones
Formed in the late 90s by Ahmad, whose 1994 single "Back In The Day" thrust him into hip-hop’s elite, 4th Avenue Jones’ was an alternative Hiphop band who avoid trite commentary on violence and drugs. Instead, the group uses its music to spread a message of empowerment, as vocalists Ahmad, Tena Jones and Jabu (vocals) flow flawlessly over the always-strong instrumentation supplied by Tim Shakes (guitar), Phat Albert (bass), Drummy Dave (drums), and Gailybird (violin). It’s a group that thrives on its live shows and makes ample use of its accomplished musicians during each performance, as Ahmad, Tena and Jabu draw much of their energy during shows form the lively playing of the Jones’. The band disbanded in 2006 due to an inability to financially sustain a touring schedule and possibly enhanced by the divorce of Tena Jones and Ahmad.
