Martin Jones is a distinguished pianist renowned for his wide-ranging repertoire and dedication to exploring lesser-known works for the piano. With an extensive recording career, Jones has become particularly celebrated for his ability to uncover the depth and nuances in the compositions of 20th-century and contemporary composers. Born in Britain, he has carved a niche as a preeminent interpreter of piano music from a diverse array of composers, dedicating albums to their works and, in doing so, often bringing their music to a wider audience.

Jones's discography reads like a musical atlas, including the works of Radamés Gnattali, Francisco Mignone, Daniel Jones, and several others. He has a particular affinity for Spanish composers, as evident in his recordings of Joaquín Turina and Isaac Albéniz, and he has been instrumental in introducing their oeuvre to new listeners through his "The Best of Martin Jones: Discover Granados" editions. Aside from his solo work, Martin is also recognized for his skillful renditions of music composed for two pianos, highlighting his adaptability and inclination towards collaboration. His dedication to his craft is further underscored by his contributions to the "PnOVA American Piano Series," which spotlights contemporary American composers. As a gifted pianist with a tireless enthusiasm for both championing the forgotten and celebrating the familiar, Martin Jones continues to enrich the classical music landscape with his compelling performances and recordings.
