Oliver Jones was already in his fifties when he was discovered by the jazz world. He had started playing piano when he was seven and at nine, he studied with <a href="spotify:artist:6zkX5fhrSD4tdVOmimR9wB">Oscar Peterson</a>'s sister Daisy; the <a href="spotify:artist:6zkX5fhrSD4tdVOmimR9wB">Peterson</a> influence is still felt in his style. Jones played with show bands and worked with pop singer Ken Hamilton (1963-1980), much of the time in Puerto Rico. It was not until he returned to Montreal in 1980 that he committed himself to playing jazz full-time. Since the mid-'80s, Oliver Jones has recorded extensively for Justin Time and established himself as a major modern mainstream player with impressive technique and a hard-swinging style. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
