Episode Details

Legendary jazz pianist Oliver Jones, who passed away at 91, is being honored with a heartfelt homecoming service at Union United Church in Montreal’s Little Burgundy — the very church where he played his first concert at age five. A beloved Montreal icon, Jones dazzled audiences for decades with his artistry, earned JUNO awards and national honors, and became a fixture of the Montreal Jazz Festival. The public visitation earlier this week was followed by a moving tribute on Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern Time, featuring music, prayers, and speeches celebrating his enduring legacy and deep roots in the city’s Black community. His voice may be gone, but his music lives on.
