Brian Jackson is an American soul/jazz keyboardist, flautist, singer, composer, producer, and artist. Born on 11 October 1952 in Brooklyn, New York City, he gained recognition for his collaborations with *Gil Scott-Heron* in the 1970s. His Fender Rhodes electric piano and flute accompaniments were prominent features in their compositions, notably on tracks like "The Bottle" and "Your Daddy Loves You". They worked together on nine albums between 1971 and 1980 under labels such as Flying Dutchman, Strata-East, and Arista.

After a hiatus from releasing music projects, Brian Jackson made a comeback through the *Jazz Is Dead* project in 2021 with the album "[m=2245633]". He continued to captivate audiences with his talent by releasing his own album "[m=2651705]" in 2022.

With influences from artists like Gary Bartz, Roy Ayers, Lonnie Liston Smith, and more; Brian Jackson's musical style resonates with fans of soulful jazz. His contributions to the industry have solidified his place among notable performers.

Legendary American musician Brian Jackson announces his first solo album in over 20 years, produced by Phenomenal Handclap Band founder Daniel Collás and released on BBE Music. Brian Jackson earned mythic status among music fans thanks to his pioneering work with Gil Scott-Heron in the 70’s, where his flute and electric piano performances on Pieces of a Man and Winter In America virtually defined the sound of an era. From the 80s onwards he went on to record with Kool &amp; The Gang, Will Downing (whose debut album he produced), Roy Ayers and Gwen Guthrie among many others, and while many veteran musicians tend to stick with the sounds they know best at some point in their careers, Jackson remains an unusually adventurous, vital and broad-minded artist to this day.
