Oliver Jones in Concert at the Jazz on the Lake Festival in Sylvan Lake

Tonight we saw Oliver Jones in an intimate concert at the Jazz on the Lake Festival in Sylvan Lake. I have a few of his CDs, he is an amazing jazz pianist from Montreal whose mentor was the great Canadian pianist Oscar Peterson. I was about 30 feet from him, and sat where I could see him playing the piano. It was a small, appreciative crowd of about 300. He appeared on the stage with a bass player and a drummer, both local session musicians. What a great show!During the intermission, he signed copies of his CD. I have it, but had to buy another one to get it signed! A very gracious and classy man, and can he play the piano!
