Stay Tuned for the Sounds of Brazil Jazz Exploration



Let me 1st 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
