TDC - Anthony Jackson

[Brooks]

RIP Anthony Jackson, the bassist on many 70s era Al DiMeola records that I love, among others. I saw him w/ Wayne Krantz in 2011, I was in a wheelchair due to my recent motorcycle crash.

This is one of my faves -

Here's a cool example of his piano like bass tone -

Amazing player - his work is an important part of my favorite Al Di Meola records!

Great musician.

One of the players who utilized a six-string contrabass in an innovative manner, and IMO exploring sonic horizons was one of the reasons such an instrument was invented. His work on a live album from Japan with Steve Khan's band Eyewitness was jaw-dropping.
