About me: I am surrounded by a musical family which included my father who taught all of us “upstarts” to tarry at the piano and wait for The anointing (and I still can't play like him); but the torch continues burning through my brothers and sisters; glows and grows through my children, nephews and nieces. I believe that Dad really passed on a powerful torch with flames that engulfs all.
I've played with and for so many fantastic, ministering folk such as Rosemary Griffin,Dorothy Grant, Lenny Champion, The O'Neal Twins,The J.D.Williams Singers, the Walter Piper Singers,Orangeburg Gospel Choral Union,The Alumni Chorale Of The National Convention Of Gospel Choirs and Choruses,The Faith Ensemble and worked on or played on Projects of Bibleway of Atlas Road "Great New City", Progressive Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ"The Power of Praise" as well as produced projects of my own.
Some of whom are still serving and some whose work here has ended... but in each venue and with each one of the called, God has made me a blessing.
My "EAGLES" who are standing on my shoulders call me their mentor, but I, the teacher, am also standing on the shoulders of those who have gone .. me. My sounds cannot and would not exist if it weren't for their trail-blazing efforts. My ten-fingered orchestra can only reflect what the Chief musician has taught me. Now I'm learning from my "EAGLES". Everything comes full circle but it's glorious.
Listen to my EAGLES as they soar. Who are my EAGLES? Not in any particular order they are: Min. Antonio Black, Min. Aquilera Black, Jonathan Jackson, Timothy Jackson, Kenneth Jackson Jr.,La'Monte Jackson, Charles Johnson, Harry Harrison, David Black, Richard Odom, Benny Gandy, Nathaniel Priester, John Priester, Ernest Priester and I must not forget Elder Brian Dykes, nor Ivan Douglas and my first Eagle the late Tommy Douglas.
If you ever get a chance to hear them, you will want to bless and thank God for their gifts. I've got some high flying vocalists as well but I will only name the ones who God uses to pull you into the stratosphere of pure worship and ministry. Not in any particular order they are...C. J. Butler, Anieta Black, Catina Rosemond and my " Godson" Marvin Davis, Jr.
I often wonder, what instruments are we going to play when we play with the Master Musician or for that matter how will our music sound? If it sounds anywhere like what I hear with the "songs in the night", then I know why we'll need a new body. One thing I do know, there won't be any choir rehearsals. (SMILE)
Some call me a creative genius. I don't know about that, but I remember challenging a mockingbird to a duel and lost.
The sounds in my head are never the same but as I create, It seems that each song and every sound has to be carefully prepared and orchestrated by the One who gives the mockingbird matchless runs. One day I'll challenge that bird again and this time win.

Who I'd like to meet: Creative folk. Musicians, songwriters, composers, folks who would rather praise and play then eat. Folks who are awakened in the wee hours of the morning by God who gives us songs in the night.Those who know what I'm talking about, know that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Praise the Lord Bro Jackson. We were blessed to have you at the conference this weekend You truly sang and played to the GLORY. Everyone enjoyed you, Mama J. and the family and are yet talking about you. I look forward to doing greater things for God's Glory.
Thanks so much for the add! Here's my info so we can connect on FaceBook, Twitter (and all other cyberspace points). Get ready for my first book signing in Lithonia (to be announced shortly) it's going to be something else:
If prayers were water, I'd give you a sea. If fasting for you were leaves, I'd give you a tree. If SALVATION was a planet, And I'd had the power, I would give you a galaxy, If friendship is life, I will give you mine. "Worlds best friends week" Send this to all your good friends. Even me, if I am one of them. If you get more than 3 someone really cares about your eternal salvation through Jesus Christ!!
I can’t even express how I feel I am at a lost for words But I am stirred to speak It’s something about these so called Christian That boils my blood Okay fine Don’t praise God like I do You don’t have to say hallelujah after every word Don’t spend time witnessing To the ones who need to be comforted Don’t try to live the life that God called you to Hello I am sending this to everyone, I just wanted to invite you all to come to my blog and read my poem Speechless(Are You For Real), Be blessed and I hope you all a letting the Lord have his way in your lives amen, I love you and stay encouraged
Mr Jackson!!! I remember you and teaching us so much - still I have my love for music!!!
I have my trumpet but it hangs out under the bed gathering dust. I appreciate other people's music now! :) but I keep in touch with the 1st trumpter- "IKE" Haigler. We couldn't ever out-do him!!! He's a DJ now. I think you did good
I still remember you also taught me about something having a "five finger discount" or if it was a really BIG item it was a "10 finger discount" haha!!!
