From Strata East to Kanye West, from
straight-ahead jazz to straight-out funk, Brian Jackson is
a true American legend. Listen to his more than a dozen
albums recorded with partner-in-crime Gil Scott-Heron and
you are bound to have many 'where have i heard that before? '
moments. That's because so many of his licks and riffs have
been sampled - and continue to be sampled by - hip-hop aristocracy.
Check his latest appearances on Kanye's "Home
Again" and on Common's new smash, "The
People", which feature's Brian's signature
synth lines from "We Almost Lost Detroit," and you'll
see that his musical vision was decades ahead of its time.
After over 35 years of creativity, Brian can still be found
building musical alliances with artists as diverse as Ron
Carter, Dj Logic and Digable Planets, and actively encourages
contact between himself and younger, less-established artists
as well.
Welcome to the Official Brian Jackson
Website! You can hear tracks from Brian's cd, "Gotta
Play" as well as find out where and when Brian is appearing.
Thanks! |
