"Sounds of Brazil" The Jazz Cross Cultural Presentation is a Success!

The Home of Jazz, St. Albans, Queens, New York hosted a great cross cultural jam session last Saturday night - September, 28th, 2013.  The jam session was called "Sounds of Brazil" and featured the highly regarded Ed Jackson Quartet.

The Quartet Performance featured outstanding world class jazz musicians like...

- Master Bassist Ron Monroe, who has performed & recorded with Ed Jackson extensively.

- Drummer Willie Martinez,  leader and vocalist of the popular La Familia Sextet. He also recorded with Ed Jackson on his 2nd CD release "Chapter 2".

- Pianist Nial Djuliarso is an active player on the NY Scene who also plays in Winard Harpers Band. He is a dynamic young player.

-  Saxophonist Ed Jackson, Just Back from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - who was inspired to create this jazz cross cultural collaboration from his enriching trips to Rio de Janiero, Brazil.

The 4 talents comprising the Quartet played sensationally to an appreciate packed house of jazz patrons that night. The quartet played as a unit very well, as they did well on the individualized jazz solos within the sets that also glowed with musical aplomb.

We thank all of those who came out for this event and made it a BIG success.  Attendance in Jackson Room has grown about $300% in the last 6 months.

We are dedicated to bringing world class jazz to our community again - the home of jazz.  Jackson Room is now the "Go To:" place for Jazz in South Queens. Come check us out every last Saturday of the Month in our Month's End Jazz Motivations.

Stay Tuned for the Sounds of Brazil Jazz Exploration

Let me 1^st thank those of you who attended our July 27th, 2013 performance for your support.  Over the last year we've endeavored to bring sophisticated and soul stirring world class jazz to our South Queens community.  Due to the invaluable support of musical patrons like you, Jackson Room is poised to become the place to be every last Saturday of the month in Southeast Queens.

We are calling these riveting Saturday performances our "Month’s End Jazz Motivations." What more entertaining way to end the month and look forward to a new month than enjoying inspiring and invigorating jazz music?

At our most recent July 27, 2013, jazz performance at Jackson Room the jazz club was filled to capacity.  We even had a cameo appearance from respected legendary TV journalist and talk show host Bill McCreary!

However, I will be taking our act on the road in August to do a cross cultural jazz exploration in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.  So there will be no Month’s End Jazz Motivations performance for the month of August.

However, next month we will dig deep into my profound musical revelations from Rio de Janerio, Brazil, and share them in beautiful cross cultural collaborations personified by the Ed Jackson Quartet.  Don’t miss the September Sounds of Brazil Musical Performances at Jackson Room jazz club.  It promises to be a soul stirring group of jazz sets.  Our outstanding cadre of jazz musicians for the evening – will be announced so stay tuned.

Best Regards,

Ed Jackson
