  • CULTURAL SECTOR Oliver Jones Jazz Ambassador Oliver Jones, A
    CULTURAL SECTOR Oliver Jones Jazz Ambassador Oliver Jones, a magical name… a name that evokes the most beautiful and sensitive aspects of jazz. A man who has lived life and experienced the stage, leaving people everywhere with the same impression: that of a warm and friendly man, both humble and dedicated, who is as hard-working as he is talented. Born in Montréal’s Little Burgundy neighbourhood on September 11, 1934, Oliver Jones is one of Canada’s most famous jazz pianists. At the age of three, he was able to play from memory songs he had heard on the radio. At five years old, he was already the pianist for the Union United Church. He subsequently studied classical piano. From very early on, Oliver Jones earned his living through music, discovering Quebec while touring the province. His work as a musician and musical director took him to the United States and to Puerto Rico with his quartet—and his wife and son—in tow. His career led him to explore various musical styles, though he always maintained a preference for jazz. Ironically, it was upon returning to settle in Montréal, his hometown, at 45 years of age, that he was finally able to get back to the music he loves so much, and earn a reputation that has continued to grow, at home and abroad. An exceptionally talented pianist, Oliver Jones is recognized as a legend of jazz, not only in Montréal but around the world as well. He has performed solo, in duets, and in trios, notably sharing the stage with Sarah Vaughan, Buddy Rich, Tony Bennett, and virtually all of the great names in jazz.
