Mike Jones: Plays Well with Others

Mike Jones: Plays Well with Others

Jazz has a long history of pianists with punch. Earl “Fatha" Hines, Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Horace Silver and Bobby Timmons are just a handful. All had a tiger-like attack on the keyboard coupled with an acrobatic technique. About a month ago a CD by pianist Mike Jones arrived that sizzled with ...

I read while listening to music, as many people do. I read lots of different things: sports magazines, novels, email, psychology research papers. I love to do this, and it isn't often I listen to an album that distracts me from my reading simply by what it presents. This album was an exception, however. ...

Mike Jones: Stretches Out

Read "Stretches Out" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Mike Jones resides at the end of a piano lineage that includes Dick Hyman, Dave McKenna, Dick Wellstood, Ralph Sutton, and Art Hodes. All of these pianists I consider to be “full service" players. They are full service in the respect that they are fluent in most, if not all, jazz and popular styles and all ...

Pianist Mike Jones is throwback musician. His music is a vestige of a time when stride and swing piano co-existed in jazz. This record made at Steinway Hall in 1997 is about a man, just one solitary man working through some classic tunes. Played any other way, making this a duo, trio, or quartet record would ...

Mike Jones: Live at Steinway Hall

Read "Live at Steinway Hall" reviewed by Dave Nathan

by Dave Nathan

Buffalo native Mike Jones clearly has listened to and learned from them all, Erroll Garner, Willy “The Lion" Smith, Oscar Peterson, Bud Powell, Teddy Wilson, and Art Tatum, especially Art Tatum. The arpeggios and the emphasis on the melody-driven right hand reminds one of the master pianist. Not only is a pianist known by those who ...
