Defying a biased music industry, Daline Jones has made a beautiful life making music.
Racial bias; She was born half-black/half-white before it was “cool”, before it was even legal in parts of the country.
Age bias; She has been singing on stages large and small for more than 5 decades and is still gigging every week.
Genre bias; Daline's voice and style do not fit into a box or a category. Jazz singer? Yes, but there is vintage 70's soul in there, and 60's pop in there too.
Yet, here she is, still. Defying age, race, categories.
Classy and polished, warm and welcoming. Her voice says, "Come in, stay awhile, let's enjoy this." You'll hear it.
“There is only one person in Los Cabos for whom the term chanteuse leaps to mind. That would be Daline Jones, the esteemed jazz vocalist…”

"The gorgeous and unforgettable vocalist Daline Jones is a living expression of talent continuing to blossom!"

THE BACKSTORY ON STEVIE WONDER SITTING IN ONSTAGE WITH DALINE:
When Stevie Wonder gave me his hand to be led onstage, time stopped….Daline says her musical peak experience happened on November 11, 2020, when Stevie Wonder showed up (unexpectedly and unannounced) at her gig at Cabo's jazz venue, Jazz On The Rocks. The band didn't know Stevie was in the house until a waiter came up and told them, "Stevie Wonder wants to come up onstage with you!" Daline remembers, “We thought Stevie wanted to play, so Diego offered him the piano, but he loved the way Diego was playing. Instead Stevie joined me in singing a “Wonder-full” jam of ”Summertime", putting his personal views in it as only Stevie can do." Luckily for all, a waiter captured the spontaneous performance on a cell phone so we can all enjoy the video forever.
