Jay Russell Oliver (born April 26, 1959) is an American jazz musician (piano, keyboards and synths), composer, record producer, programmer & engineer. He began his professional music career at the age of 19 as the youngest member of Maynard Ferguson’s band. His later credits include: Sheryl Crow, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, Wynona Judd, Glenn Frey, Peabo Bryson, Chick Corea, Dave Weckl, Russ Kunkel, Jay Graydon, Aomusic, Celine Dion and many others. Jay resides in Los Angeles, where he has worked extensively in music composition and production, ranging from jazz fusion and World music to soundtracks to session work of all kinds. At the beginning of 2011, after many years of research and field test studies involving the use of sound from a clinical perspective, Jay founded a company called SmartWav, LLC. The company specializes in the use of proprietary tonal, pitch and rhythm mapping technologies that specifically aid infants in areas of brain development and issues of post womb insomnia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=For Dad, Sounds in Silence Says: "Sleep In On Father's Day" )〕〔(SC Magazine interview-Oliver )〕 ==Early career== Dave Weckl Oliver and Dave Weckl grew up together in St. Louis, Missouri where they explored a prolific jazz fusion style. A few years later in Los Angeles, after partnering on Weckl's first three solo releases, they formed The Dave Weckl Band, co-producing two albums. Sheryl Crow Oliver was a top local producer in his St. Louis studio when first introduced to a young Sheryl Crow, who at the time was a school teacher and aspiring singer. Jay eventually began using Crow in recording sessions and featured her in several jingles. She and Oliver moved to Los Angeles within a few years of each other and began co-writing songs that eventually landed Crow a publishing contract and recording deal with A&M Records. Some of those songs were recorded by Celine Dion, Wynonna Judd and others.〔(SoundOnSound interview with Crow's producers )〕 Glenn Frey In the nineties Oliver was hired as Glenn Frey’s keyboardist, co-producer and co-writer. Jay also has production credit with Elliot Scheiner for the Eagles album Hell Freezes Over as well as their live album ''New Millennium''. Jimmy Buffett In the late 1980s, Oliver was asked by producer Elliot Scheiner to begin co-writing songs with Jimmy Buffett. He co-wrote the Buffett albums "Off to See the Lizard" and "Barometer Soup", then briefly toured as member of his Coral Reefer Band. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jay Oliver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
