Jazzy Sundays in the Parks- Jones Family Singers with Charmin Greene & Jermaine Williams

Free concerts to celebrate Houston jazz! KTSU is the official media sponsor.

The Jones Family Singers, consisting in part of five sisters, two brothers and their father, have been tearing up churches and festivals for almost three decades.  “Modern practitioners of a long musical tradition…infusing their joyful, reverent songs with elements of vintage soul and R&B” declares the Wall Street Journal. “The three generation gospel collective’s high-energy performances are the living embodiment of the indelible connection between the black church and its rock and soul offspring” notes the Austin Chronicle. “It was all joyful praise, brilliantly timed with one crescendo after another” boasts the New York Times, and both Rolling Stone and NPR called them “a must see act” at SXSW.

Charmin Greene, hailing from Waco, TX, is a celebrated saxophonist known for her emotive playing and technical mastery. With over 20 years of experience in genres such as Pop, R&B, Jazz, and Gospel, she has performed with industry legends like Norman Brown, Richard Elliot, and Pam Hart. Charmin’s performances have graced prestigious festivals and international stages, solidifying her place as a trailblazer for female musicians in Smooth Jazz and R&B. Jermaine Williams, a versatile multi-instrumentalist and producer, has performed in over 20 countries and collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Grammy winners like Shirley Caesar, Yolanda Adams, and Solange Knowles. His career began in New Orleans’ gospel scene, and his mentorship under jazz icons like Professor Edward “Kidd” Jordan and Ellis Marsalis helped shape his exceptional musical talents. Jermaine’s contributions extend beyond performance, as he co-founded TheRoux, a production team renowned for its innovative approach to music and artist development.
