Early influences

Jon Marks began learning the piano at the age of seven. When an interest in New Orleans Jazz and improvisation took up his free time, he stopped teaching at age 12. David Marks (psychologist) supervised the banjo while his brother David Marks (psychologist) played the banjo. When he was 14 years old, Dave brought Jon to a jazz gig where he snuckled in behind the piano for the first time in public, he never looked back. Jon was fortunate to work with Alton Purnell (Bunk Johnson and George Lewis' pianist), and he gained musical support and inspiration from him from 1964 to 1987, according to Alton Purnell. Joe Robicheaux, Lester Santiago, and James "Sing" Miller were among pianists who had influenced others. Marks formed a school band at the age of 12 and, as co-leader of a semi-pro jazz band, the "San Jacinto Jazz Band" in Portsmouth, he died at the age of 15. Jon's first professional band, the "Keith Smith Climax Jazz Band," which helped with a move back to London in 1964 when he first joined them aged 17.

Jon Marks toured Britain, Europe, the United States, Brazil, Australia, Japan, and other Asian nations. He performed with Keith Smith before joining Barry Martyn's Band in 1968. He stayed with Martyn until the band's demise in 1973 due to Martyn's immigration to the United States. In 1968 and 1969, he appeared with Kid Martyn's Ragtime Band at the first two New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festivals, as well as at Louis Armstrong's 70th Birthday, "Hello Louis," where he was photographed alongside Louis Armstrong's massive birthday cake, whiskey, and bourbon fountains. Marks and Martyn are both active in the United States annually, with New Orleans as the starting point, where he could gain valuable experience at Preservation Hall and other local venues.

Since 1973, he freelanced for various departments, including Berlin's White Eagle Band with late clarinetist/saxophonist Peter Müller and trumpeter Raimer Lösch. Marks has collaborated with Kid Thomas, clarinetist/saxophone player Sammy Rimington, and the Louis Nelson Band among others. Marks established his home base in Berlin, Germany, in the late 1970s, where he made recordings and performed with his own New Orleans Jazz trio. He began touring with Sammy Rimington's Band again in the 1980s, as well as touring with the White Eagle Band, Berlin, and the Maryland Jazz Band, Cologne. He toured with Kid Thomas' Algiers Stompers in Europe in 1983, the band's last tour. In 1987, Louis Nelson's band toured in Switzerland. During the 1990s, he was a regular visitor to the Big Easy Jazz Band in Connecticut, touring and recording in New England and the Tri-State area, as well as appearing at the 1991 Santa Rosa Festival in California, California. Sammy Rimington and he appeared at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 1996. Jon appeared regularly at the Ascona New Orleans Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

"Marks is one of the finest and certainly the most forceful of the pianists currently playing in this style," Herb Friedwald wrote in the liner notes to The Orange Kellin Trio (GHB Records, BCD-354).

Marks was first working on "The Gene Krupa Story," a 2-hour multi-media Big Band Swing Exhibition based in Berlin, with Berlin-based drummer, entrepreneur, and producer Arthor Von Blomberg, right up to his death in 2007. Gene Krupa and a 16-piece orchestra were subsequently performed at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre in New York.
