James Henry Jones (1928-1982) was born in Memphis but spent his formative years in Chicago. “I always liked music,” he said. “Guess that was only natural as my father was a choir director and my mother played a little piano.” His first attempt at creating music was at the age of 13 when he started playing the guitar. Later, Jimmy became interested in harmony and began experimenting at the family piano at the age of sixteen. During his formative years, Jimmy Jones developed a deep appreciation for two influential figures in jazz: Art Tatumand Duke Ellington. He had a natural ability to play the right chords and provide accompaniment for singers in the ensembles he worked with. Gradually, he developed the necessary technique and became a proficient pianist.
