This time on The Chiaroscuro Podcast, we’ll explore the work of contemporary Chiaroscuro pianist Mike Jones.
About Mike Jones
Jones made his recording debut on Chiaroscuro in 1993 with an album called Oh! Look at Me Now. He also has four other releases on the label. These days, Jones is known for his long association with Penn & Teller in Las Vegas. He opens the magicians’ set, and often interacts with them.
People often call Jones a “Two handed pianist” because of his style incorporating strong, rhythmic bass lines in his left hand. This technique influenced pianist Dave McKenna, who is also a Chiaroscuro artist.
