Tony Jackson (pianist)
Antonio Junius Jackson, best known as Tony Jackson (October 25, 1882 - April 20, 1921) was an American pianist, singer, and composer.
==Early life==
Jackson was born to a poor African American family in Uptown New Orleans, Louisiana on October 25, 1882. While some sources claim birth dates back to 1876, and a June 5 date, this was likely an error made by his sister Louvina in a later interview, when she appears to have quoted her own birth information. Tony did not appear in the 1880 Federal census unlike his older sisters.〔1880 Federal census for the family of Antonio Jackson and Rachel (Dennis) Jackson taken in New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana.〕 He was born a twin, along with Prince Albert Jackson, who died in New Orleans on January 5, 1884,〔New Orleans, Louisiana, city death records 1804-1949, 5 January 1884, as available on Ancestry.com at〕 at fourteen months of age, further reinforcing the October 1882 birth date as correct. The 1900 Federal census further reinforces the year and month of birth as October 1882,〔Federal census taken 5 June 1900, New Orleans, Orleans, Louisiana, Ward 12, enumeration district 118, page 6A〕 and his 1918 draft record shows a birth date of October 25, although the year reads 1884.〔Draft record taken in Chicago, Illinois.

Tony showed musical talents at a young age. At about the age of 10 he reportedly constructed a type of crude but working and properly tuned harpsichord out of junk in his back yard, since his family lacked the money to buy or rent a piano. On this contraption young Tony was able to reproduce hymns he heard in church; news of this accomplishment soon spread around the neighborhood and he was offered use of neighbors' pianos and reed organs to practice on. Jackson got his first musical job at age 13, when he began playing piano during off hours at a Tonk run by bandleader Adam Olivier. By age 15 was already considered by many musicians the best pianist in town.
