According to Stones Professor Mike Koshitani's interview:
"Paul called my agent from London.
When I went to Paul's studio in East Sussex, Nicky Hopkins was playing the piano and drummer Chris Whitten was there, too.
We were jamming all afternoon."

Nicky adds more than color to this track. His signature rhythm part is evident, building up, dueling with Charlie Watts on drums, providing a distinctive backbeat.
Brian Jones plays some of his best slide guitar on this song.
Nicky Hopkins played on quite a few Stones songs, starting with “Cool Calm Collected”

Its Keith on slide on JSP. And I still do not believe Hopkins did a Stones session before 1967, so in my opinion it is Jack Nitzsche on piano.

So when was JSP recorded?

So it could be Nicky on piano? Just confused about Mathijs’ 1967 comment.

Why do people still claim that Brian played the slide on Jig Saw Puzzle? The playing style is totally different.

Between The Buttons
The last of the albums to be released with a different track listing in America and Britain, “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and “Ruby Tuesday” were both included having been released as a double a-side in America.
With the controversy over the lyrics of the former song, most notably when Ed Sullivan banned the Stones from singing ‘night’ and subsequent black listing by many American radio stations it only made number fifty five. Nothing could stop “Ruby Tuesday” and it went to number one in early 1967. In Britain the two songs were also released as a single that made number three. Both the US and the UK version of the album was the last to be ‘produced’ by Andrew Loog Oldham. “Something Happened To Me Yesterday” features Brian Jones on sax and trombone. Regular keyboard players Jack Nitzsche and Ian Stewart are joined by Nicky Hopkins, who plays piano on several tracks, the start of his lengthy spell as a sideman.

Hamish Stuart was talking about Nicky Hopins at Flowers In The Dirt session with Paul McCartney.
It's coming back to me his brilliant works.

Nicky Hopkins played on quite a few Stones songs, starting with “Cool Calm Collected” and including “Gimme Shelter”, “She’s a Rainbow”, “Child of the Moon”,
“You Got the Silver”, and “Sway”. Nicky also accompanied the Stones on tour from 1971 to 1973.
Revolution
Nicky delivers the absolutely definitive best rock ‘n’ roll piano solo in the middle of this popular Beatles single (the most popular single of all time — the flip side of “Hey Jude”).
Nicky was brought in especially for this piano overdub. George Harrison was later to return the favor by playing on Nicky Hopkins’ solo album Tin Man Was a Dreamer (1973).
Sunny Afternoon
Nicky Hopkins plays both piano and the melodica solo on the Kinks’ hit “Sunny Afternoon”.
He started playing with the Kinks on the Face To Face album and also played on other Kinks tunes such as “Waterloo Sunset”.
The Kinks wrote “Session Man” about Nicky.

The brass on Something is not by Jones, but by hired session musicians. Hopkins first session with the Stones, according to himself, were in May 1967 when he was hired for She's a Rainbow and We Love You.
