Jon Lord

Jon Lord (born Jonathan Douglas Lord; June 9, 1941, Leicester – July 16, 2012, London) was a British composer and keyboardist, best known for his participation in the band Deep Purple. He was a member of the groups Artwoods, Flower Pot Men, Deep Purple, Paice, Ashton & Lord, and Whitesnake. From 2002, he focused on his solo career. Jon Lord’s playing style is easily recognizable, both because of the characteristic Hammond organ sound often used by the musician for performance and because of the noticeable influence of classical composers and jazz on the musician’s works.
