Jason Jackson
Hi energy mix of smooth jazz and R&B. Featuring some of my chart toping originals as well as paying tribute to some of the greats, such as Prince, Chaka Khan, The Stylistics, and more.
It’s been a whirlwind from the U.S. Navy to a record deal and the Billboard Top Twenty for Smooth Jazz/R&B saxophonist Jason Jackson. When it comes to music, he’s been all in from the go, inspiring the title of his first full-length album, “All In,” which was released in 2022.
Jackson spent ten years performing worldwide as a member of the US Navy band, playing prestigious venues in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia, and Japan. Just before completing his service in 2021, he reached out to hit making producer and guitarist Adam Hawley, sending him a demo. Upon hearing it, Hawley agreed to produce and write with the sax player who had opened for Brian McKnight, Morris Day and the Time, KC and the Sunshine Band, and Michael McDonald while he was a teenager under the tutelage of longtime James Brown saxophonist Leroy Harper Jr.
Hawley produced Jackson’s 2021 debut EP, “Movin’ On,” which showcased the saxman alongside prominent duet partners Julian Vaughn and Tim Bowman. In November of 2023, Jackson realized a dream when he released his first full-length album, “All In.”
Another of Jackson’s dreams was realized when he signed with Hawley’s MBF Entertainment record label and released his second full length album titled “Looking Up” which featured old friends Julian Vaughn and Chieli Minucci as well as trumpet legend Rick Braun.
“My last month in the Navy was May of 2021. I got out of the military and around two months later, I was breaking into the top twenty on the Billboard chart with the single ‘All The Way’ featuring Julian Vaughn, which came out a month before I left the Navy. Pretty cool transition. No looking back since then!”
