"Sounds of Brazil" Tomorrow Night at Jackson Room Jazz Club in Queens, New York

Don't forget to support jazz in South Queens tomorrow night. South Queens, New York can literary be referred to as the home of Jazz. Some of the greatest jazz legends have lived in Southern Queens. Some top jazz luminaries such as Fats Waller, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, and Mercer Ellington all had homes in our area (just to name a few).

Jazz is now an international acclaimed art form with even more popularity outside the US. World class jazz is still alive and well in our community. See for yourself checkout the Month’s End Jazz Motivations at Jackson Room Jazz.

This month’s performance will be a cross cultural one called “Sounds of Brazil” here is a sneak preview of what you’ll see: http://youtu.be/VQd9fsirSi0 . For more info go to http://www.jacksonroom.com/

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
