It’s impossible to speak about jazz music in Quebec without knowing and mentioning the name of Oliver Jones. This pianist deserves a special attention, because He’s for us a legend. He was born on September 11th, 1934 in the district of \u00a0the Petite-Bourgogne in Montreal. The family of Oscar Peterson (Daisy, Chuck) are also in the vicinity. Daisy, the older sister of Oscar Peterson, teaches piano lessons to Oliver during his childhood.<\/em><\/p>\n

During several years, Jones works in Puerto Rico as director of an orchestra of varieties. He returned to Montreal at the beginning of the eighties, He’s devoted exclusively at He’s career of pianist. He plays with musicians from local player of Quebec and international players like the double bass player Ray Brown, the drummer Ed Thigpen and the trumpet player Clark Terry.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1995, Oliver Jones announces that it is withdrawn partially of the music scene. In reality, Jones did not slow down too much. He’s still very active as much on scene that in the studios. From theses times, he collaborates with a rising star of the scene of the jazz, the great drummer Jim Doxas. How to qualify He’s playing? I would say that his playing is alive, intense and in direct link with the history of the jazz. He’s generous and its pleasure of playing is contagious. As soon as it touches a note, the magic operates! If you wish to know Oliver Jones, I recommend to you to get the DVD entitled \u201cSerenade\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Il est impossible de parler de musique jazz au Qu\u00e9bec sans conna\u00eetre et mentionner le nom d’Oliver Jones. Ce grand pianiste m\u00e9rite une attention particuli\u00e8re, car il est pour nous une l\u00e9gende vivante. Il est n\u00e9 le 11 septembre 1934 dans le quartier de la Petite-Bourgogne \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Les Peterson (Oscar, Daisy, Chuck) sont aussi dans le voisinage. Daisy, la soeur a\u00een\u00e9e d’Oscar Peterson, donne des le\u00e7ons de piano \u00e0 Oliver durant son enfance.<\/p>\n

Durant plusieurs ann\u00e9es, Jones travaille \u00e0 Porto Rico comme directeur d’un orchestre de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s. D\u00e8s son retour \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 80, il se consacre exclusivement a sa carri\u00e8re de pianiste. Il joue avec des musiciens d’ici et d’ailleurs tels que le contrebassiste Ray Brown, le batteur Ed Thigpen et le trompettiste Clark Terry.<\/p>\n

En 1995, Oliver Jones annonce qu’il se retire partiellement de la sc\u00e8ne musicale. Dans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, Jones n’a pas trop ralenti la cadence. Il est encore tr\u00e8s actif autant sur sc\u00e8ne que dans les studios. De ces temps-ci, il collabore avec une vedette montante de la sc\u00e8ne du jazz, l’excellent batteur Jim Doxas. Comment qualifier son jeu? Je dirais que son jeu est vivant, intense et en lien direct avec l’histoire du jazz. Il est g\u00e9n\u00e9reux et son plaisir de jouer est contagieux. D\u00e8s qu’il touche une note, la magie op\u00e8re! Si vous d\u00e9sirez conna\u00eetre Oliver Jones, je vous recommande de vous procurer le DVD intitul\u00e9 \u00abSerenade\u00bb.<\/p>\n
