Javon Jackson
Javon’s latest recording, Once Upon a Melody, is set for release by Palmetto Records on September 16. Once Upon a Melody finds Javon celebrating his love of acoustic jazz, performing music by Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner and contemporary artist Corinne Bailey Rae.
The tracks for the new CD were carefully chosen, documenting, as Javon puts it “select recordings that have special meaning for me.” Revisiting his days in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, paying tribute to the great Sonny Rollins and adding some tunes of his own, Javon recorded some of the great melodies that have inspired him for years. Joining Javon this time around are Eric Reed on piano, Corcoran Holt on bass and Billy Drummond on drums. – javonjackson.com
