The week ahead runs Thursday, October 22 through Sunday, October 25, and its essential trip is compressed into the first three nights: Darryl Jones at Epicurus. Jones arrives with pianist Robert Irving III and drummer Toby Williams for concerts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, turning an unusually deep career into a small-ensemble encounter. The headline carries instant recognition through Jones’s long-running role with The Rolling Stones, yet the draw here is the chance to hear how bass, piano and drums navigate the material and musical memory behind that résumé in close quarters.[1][2]

Epicurus presents the engagement as “From Miles Davis to The Rolling Stones,” which gives the week a useful frame. The venue describes a programme of fresh interpretations connected to Miles Davis, Sting, Madonna, The Rolling Stones and Jones’s own compositions, alongside personal stories from his career. That broad route makes sense for a bassist whose work has moved between the electric jazz of the 1980s, pop and rock’s largest stages, and his own bandleading projects.[1][2]

The electric-era connection sits at the centre

Robert Irving III is the detail that makes this Copenhagen run especially compelling. Jones and Irving were both present in Miles Davis’s 1980s orbit: the official Miles Davis archive credits them together on 1983 Decoy-session recordings, with Jones on electric bass and Irving on Linn Drum programming. It also lists both musicians on the You’re Under Arrest sessions. Their appearance together at Epicurus therefore links the advertised Miles-focused material to a genuine shared working history, one rooted in Davis’s rhythmically charged late-period sound.[1][3]

That history sharpens the scale of Jones’s career without reducing the concert to credentials. His official biography traces an early international break with Miles Davis, subsequent work with Sting, Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, Madonna and Eric Clapton, and his position as Rolling Stones bassist since 1993. At Epicurus, the trio format places the attention on Jones as a player and interpreter: a musician who has spent decades serving songs and ensembles, now presenting the connective tissue between several musical worlds.[2][3]

Choose a night, then stay with the trio

Thursday, October 22 at 21:15 is the primary pick, arriving before the weekend’s parallel rush of club shows. Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24 continue at 21:15, giving listeners three chances to catch the same core lineup at Epicurus. The repeat dates are useful for a show built around a working trio and a repertoire spanning several eras: the attraction lies in hearing Jones, Irving and Williams shape the evening together, with the room’s presentation emphasizing interpretations and stories instead of a fixed greatest-hits premise.[1]

Plan for Epicurus at 21:15 on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, October 22–24; all three performances fall within the October 22–25 weekly window. Epicurus lists this series within its live-jazz programme and ticket information, while Jones’s official site offers further background on his recording, touring and project work. Recheck Epicurus’s official event page before leaving for current admission, arrival and programme details, since these can change close to showtime.[1][2]
