Austrian singer/songwriter Stella Jones presents highlights from her new album "The Pursuit of Silence" at the Austrian Cultural Forum NY.

For "The Pursuit of Silence" (Universal Music Austria) Stella Jones has enlisted some of the most talented Austrian and international musicians to support her debut album including master drummer Thomas Lang, bass legend Willy Langer and a host of others.

"The Pursuit of Silence" - an infinitely powerful and funky record - favors groove and breathing melodies above complicated and artificial sounds. By constructing all of her backing tracks herself Jones creates a polyphonic universe full of encrypted conceptions of her reality.

STELLA JONES was born in Berlin, Germany, as daughter of Bebop trumpet player CARMELL JONES and Blues singer and Fluxus artist CHRISTINE JONES. She grew up surrounded by international musicians and artists and started to play the piano at the age of five. 

At the age nine she started composing her own songs. In 1977 Stella Jones moved to Vienna and started her musical career performing as a singer with her mother in Jazz clubs. In 1984 she started working as arecording artist. Stella Jones also performed in several Musicals like The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Crazy.

In 1992 she had a Number 1 Chart Hit with the group POWERPACK and it held it's position in the AUSTRIAN TOP TEN CHARTS for several weeks. In 1995 Stella Jones represented Austria at the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin.
