Tony Jackson
Born:
Acknowledged as a seminal New Orleans piano professor, Tony Jackson was born in uptown New Orleans on June 5, 1876. He showed musical talents at a young age. At the age of 10 he constructed a type of crude but working and properly tuned harpsichord out of junk in his back yard, since his family lacked the money to buy or rent a piano. On this contraption young Tony was able to reproduce hymns he heard in church; news of this accomplishment soon spread around the neighborhood and he was offered use of neighbors' pianos and reed organs to practice on. Jackson got his first musical job at age 13, when he began playing piano during off hours at a local honky tonk run by bandleader Adam Olivier
