GATHER ROUND JAZZ CATS
(and anyone who hasn’t seen a
7-string guitar before):
SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2023,
8:00 PM
The RON JACKSON QUARTET
is coming to perform at
the Puffin Cultural Forum!
Coming out of the pandemic
lockdown, world-renowned seven string jazz guitarist, composer,
and arranger Ron Jackson released his latest solo album,
Standards and My Songs, which reached the Top 10 Jazzweek album
release chart. The album spotlights Jackson’s clean-burning,
clean-toned guitar voice and bookends his pre-pandemic 2019 outing,
Standards and Other Songs, with a critical difference. Joining Ron
Jackson on stage are Akiko Tsuruga (organ), Carmen
Intorre, Jr. (drums), and T.K. Blue (saxophone) to
perform a handpicked selection of the latest and best of his musical
repertoire.
Ron
Jackson has performed, recorded, and taught music in over 30
countries. Jackson is likely the only African American seven-string
jazz guitarist alive. His goal is to bring awareness to the
instrument through education, music, and events. As a musician,
Jackson has mastered the six, seven, and twelve-string guitars and
plays other fretted string instruments like the ukulele, banjo, and
electric bass. He has been featured as a leader in jazz festivals all
over the world, including the North Sea Jazz Festival, Edinburgh Jazz
Festival, and Winter Jazzfest. In 2022, Ron was awarded the South
Arts’ Jazz Road grant to support his “Whatever’s Open” Tour in
March-April 2022. This coincided with his Top 10 Jazzweek album
release, “Standards and My Songs”.
