About yourself

From Strata East to Kanye West, from straight-ahead jazz to straight-out funk, Brian Jackson is a true American legend. Listen to his more than a dozen albums recorded with partner-in-crime Gil Scott-Heron and you are bound to have many 'where have i heard that before? ' moments. That's because so many of his licks and riffs have been sampled - and continue to be sampled by - hip-hop aristocracy. Check his latest appearances on Kanye's "Home Again" and on Common's new smash, "The People", which feature's Brian's signature synth lines from "We Almost Lost Detroit," and you'll see that his musical vision was decades ahead of its time.

After over 35 years of creativity, Brian can still be found building musical alliances with artists as diverse as Ron Carter, Dj Logic and Pete Miser, and actively encourages contact between himself and younger, less-established artists as well.
