MGJ

Michael Gregory Jackson’s music is spiritual and holds the light – even in the darkness…This is how the music is: it contains a will to dive into the deepest layers of human life, but is at the same time also a tribute to life itself. A sound painting...

Michael Gregory Jackson, Spirit Signal Strata

If I say right out that Michael Gregory Jackson has over his career consistently distinguished himself as one of the very most distinctive...

“The intelligence and soulfulness of his plectrum wielding and tone choice make it all work as a self-in-sound that gives Fusion a renewed vibrance and viability.” - Grego Applegate - Gapplegate Guitar and Bass Blog

"Jackson emerged as part of the ’70s and ’80s avant-garde with the likes of Oliver Lake, Anthony Davis, and David Murray and eventually reached into the worlds of R&B and pop in collaborations with Nile Rodgers and Steely Dan’s Walter Becker. At his best, he’s both a provocative singer-songwriter and an incendiary electric guitarist." - Jon Garelick - Boston Globe. Photo: Gary Judycki - "MGJ Spirit Signal Strata" CD and Download Available Now!

Rolling Stone MGJ "Heart & Center" review by Robert Palmer. 'The melodies of his songs incorporate Stravinsky-ish interval jumps that would terrify most pop vocalists, and the shimmering backdrops of voices, guitars and synthesizers all over-dubbed by Jackson bring to mind the orchestral voicings of the late Duke Ellington. At the age of twenty-six Jackson is blending a staggering variety of influences into a more and more coherent whole."
