Music / tunes
Check out some of my tunes below – they include the chilled stuff I do, as well as some of the film style tracks I do under the name The Digby Jones Orchestra.
Pina Colada (and other early tunes) LP
Pina Colada was released in 2006, and was a collection of tracks written by Digby Jones from between 2001 and 2006. When a track of his, Pina Colada, appeared on Cafe Del Mar Volume 8 there was a lot more interest in his music. Therefore, he picked his favourite tracks from amongst the ones he had written and put them together on an album. The album is still very popular today, about 10 years after the first track was written. You can hear the tracks below:
The Digby Jones Orchestra
One of Digby’s side projects is his ‘orchestra’, a group of liked minded musicians who get together to make groovy, uptempo funky cuts. But the latest tracks they have done have been much more ‘filmic’ and more minimal. It would be good to get some feedback on these tracks (he has released an EP), as he is thinking of finishing an album of this type of stuff. Or he could finish a second album more along the lines of Pina Colada – be good to hear back from you. Here are some of the tracks:

Digby, I absolutely love the Workaholics Hard Mix of Eternity. I own it on Vinyl.
Do you know where I could get a high quality digital copy as its an old record.
I thought I’d ask as you have been following me on mixcloud…

Hi RT,
Thanks for your comment – that’s a blast from the past! We should it have it somewhere as a master copy. We’ll take a look and get back to you. Cheers!

hey Digby,
love your music and even try to play it on my keyboard. I’m not a great musician and but would love to play under the sea. What is the piano scale you use and any specific element I should know when trying to play this song.
tx and keep up the great work

Thanks for that! Very nice to hear from you, really glad you like the tunes. Have a great day! Cheers, Digby
u da man!!!
what I mean here is that Digby’s music is soo fresh and never seems to get stale, even with repeated listening! Tracks like Under the Sea & Pina Colada are just pure treat for any Funky Jazz lover.
