Jackson - a pseudonym for Bristol-based keyboard and session player Jack Baldus.
Jack has been a well-regarded regular performer on the Bristol and Southwest music scene for several
years, but became a frontman for his own live project since 2015.
Adding to the immensity of Jackson's sound is the combination of drums, bass,
guitar and horn section, made up of the finest handpicked musicians in the UK.
With a host of influences across the spectrum of genres and acts, including Herbie
Hancock, Steely Dan, Thundercat and Radiohead. Jackson's sound can be difficult
to pin down; but to quote Gil Scot Heron; "We are miscellaneous. We did not mean
to be miscellaneous. Somehow it happened. We will let you decide what kind of
music do we play."
"It's clear that our boy Jack is on the move; he's taking contemporary soul to brand new
place ... "
-Charlie Dunlap - List O mania
"Their funk-fuelled big band performance soon reveals itself as nothing short of special, full
of killer solos and noisy climaxes."
"A Stunning line up of Bristol's finest Musicians; the lush strings, bright brass arrangements
and the thundering drums make it an exhilarating listen"
-Bristol 24/7
"We love music that sticks to its guns and Jackson shows absolutely no sign of
compromising"
-Curious music for Curious people
