About Jon Cleary
Jon Cleary’s love and affinity for New Orleans music gos back to his grandparents – who performed in London in the 1940s. As a teen Cleary grew increasingly interested in funk-infused music – particularly the work of Allen Toussaint. In 1981 Cleary flew to New Orleans and took a cab straight to the Maple Leaf Bar – where he worked as a painter, but soon graduated to playing piano. As word of Cleary’s burgeoning talent began to spread around town, he was hired by such New Orleans R&B legends. Today, Cleary’s work pays obvious homage to the classic Crescent City keyboard repertoire created by such icons as Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Domino, Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Dr. John, and James Booker – while also using it as a launching pad for a style that incorporates such other diverse influences as ’70s soul and R&B, gospel music, funk, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Cuban rhythms, and much more.
