This CD aims to bring back some light to John Paul Jones, a forgotten, flawed yet brilliant individual and retells his extraordinary life story.
The name of John Paul Jones may mean little to the vast majority of people in the U.S. and Britain today but for a time in the 18th. century he was a much celebrated and feared figure, with a fame and reputation that spread throughout Europe and reached as far as Russia. Born in humble circumstances by the Solway coast in southern Scotland he rose to be an outstanding naval commander, personally acquainted with such famous characters as George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Louis XV1, the Marquis de Lafayette, Catherine the Great, Field Marshall Potemkin and many more besides. This CD aims to bring back some light to this forgotten, flawed yet brilliant individual and retell his extraordinary life story.
