Tyrone Jackson, Author at Jazz Guitar Today

Tyrone Jackson

The name Tyrone Jackson is the quintessential jazz piano player. His boundless creativity coupled with harmonic mastery utilizes the piano as a blank canvas. Jackson is nationally recognized and has traveled the world as a solo artist and sideman. Born in the New Orleans cradle of jazz, Jackson embodies the spirit of the Crescent City. The blends of jazz, funk and Afro-Carribean melodies are ever-present in his work. But of course, musicians are never solely influenced by themselves. Jackson’s teachers are a virtual Who’s Who of great jazz piano players ranging from Ellis Marsalis, Mary Ann Bulla to gospel/classical legend Moses Hogan.
