since July 23, 1996.


Jazz is not about flat fives or sharp nines, or metric subdivisions, or substitute chord changes. Jazz is about feeling, communication, honesty, and soul. Jazz is not supposed to boggle the mind. Jazz is meant to enrich the spirit. Jazz can create jubilance. Jazz can induce melancholy. Jazz can energize. Jazz can soothe. Jazz can make you shake your head, clap your hands, and stomp your feet. Jazz can render you spellbound and hypnotized. Jazz can be soft or hard, heavy or light, cool or hot, bright or dark. Jazz is for your heart. Jazz moves you. -Joshua Redman [April,1994 MOODSWING]

  • D.D. Jackson Trio - from New York City

    Ottawa-born, New York-based, D. D. Jackson has recorded two exceptional albums on the Justin Time label. His 1995 debut album "Peace-Song" featured tenor saxophone legend David Murray and was nominated for two Juno awards. This May, Jackson released his follow-up, the all trio recording "Rhythm-Dance", accompanied by John Geggie on bass and Jean Martin on drums (both of whom are members of "Chelsea Bridge").

    D. D. Jackson has performed widely in New York City, from the downtown avant-garde Knitting Factory to Greenwich Village jazz institutions Sweet Basil and The Village Vanguard to the prestigious Lincoln Centre. Solo and with his trio, he has played all the major jazz festivals in Canada.
    "Jackson covers a lot of territory, spending equal time in simple grooves and tricky meters. His dynamism and whirling energy would make him an important pianist, period; but even better, his trio is one of those well-integrated groups whose members shift roles seamlessly"
