Tyrone Jackson is quickly becoming synonymous with the quintessential Jazz piano player. His boundless creativity coupled with subtle accompaniments, has Tyrone poised for national recognition. Born in the New Orleans’ cradle of Jazz, Jackson embodies the spirit of the Crescent City. The blends of Jazz, Funk and Afro-Caribbean 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, Kevin Bales to Gospel legend Moses Hogan. Tyrone’s Music Philosophy: “We must remember that playing music is an extension of ourselves. Every experience that we’ve had, and will have, will eventually trickle into what we play and how we play.” For more information about Tyrone Jackson, visit: www.TyroneJackson.com.
