Milt JacksonFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclo pedia

Milton "Bags" Jackson (January 1, 1923 – October 9,

1999) was an American jazz vibraphonist, usually

thought of as a bebop player, although he performed in

several jazz idioms. He is especially remembered for his

cool swinging solos as a member of the Modern Jazz

Quartet and his penchant for collaborating with several

hard bop and post-bop players.

A very expressive player, Jackson differentiated himself

from other vibraphonists in his attention to variations on

harmonics and rhythm. He was particularly fond of the

twelve-bar blues at slow tempos. He preferred to set the

vibraphone's oscillator to a low 3.3 revolutions per

second (as opposed to Lionel Hampton's speed of 10

revolutions per second) for a more subtle vibrato. Onoccasion, Jackson sang and played piano professionally.

Biography

Jackson was born on Januar y 1, 1923 in Detroit,

Michigan, the son of Manley Jackson and Lillie Beaty

Jackson. Like many, he was surrounded by music from an early age, particularly that of religious meetings

"Everyone wants to know where I got that funky style. Well, it came from church. The music I heard wasopen, relaxed, impromptu soul music" (quoted in Nat Hentoff's liner notes to Plenty, Plenty Soul). He

started on guitar when he was seven, then on piano at 11. While attending Miller High School, he played

drums in addition to timpani and violin and also sang in the choir. At 16, he sang professionally in a local

touring gospel quartet called the Evangelist Singers. Jackson also took up the vibraphone at 16 after hearin

Lionel Hampton play the instrument in Benny Goodman's band. Jackson was discovered by Dizzy

Gillespie, who hired him for his sextet in 1945, then his larger ensembles. Jackson quickly acquired

experience working with the most important figures in jazz of the era, including Woody Herman, Howard

McGhee, Thelonious Monk, and Charlie Parker.

Milt Jackson at Bach Dancing &

Dynamite Society, Half Moon Bay

CA 1980s.

In the Gillespie big band, Jackson fell into a pattern that led to the

founding of the Modern Jazz Quartet: Gillespie maintained a former

swing tradition of a small group within a big band, and his included

Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer

Kenny Clarke (considered a pioneer of the ride cymbal timekeeping

that became the signature for bop and most jazz to follow) while the

brass and reeds took breaks. When they decided to become a

working group in their own right, around 1950, the foursome was

known at first as the Milt Jackson Quartet, becoming the Modern

Jazz Quartet (MJQ) in 1952. By that time Percy Heath had replaced

Ray Brown.

Known at first for featuring Jackson's blues-heavy improvisations

almost exclusively, in time the group came to split the difference

between these and Lewis's more ambitious musical ideas (Lewis had

become the group's musical director by 1955, the year Clarke

departed in favour of Connie Kay), boiling the quartet down to a

chamber jazz style that highlighted the lyrical tension between Lewis's mannered, but roomy, composition

and Jackson's unapologetic swing.

The MJQ had a long independent career of some twenty years until disbanding in 1974, when Jackson spli

with Lewis, partly in an attempt to make more money on his own and, more likely, because he sought the

improvisational freedom he once enjoyed. The group reformed in 1981, however, and continued until 1993

after which Jackson toured alone, performing in various small combos, although agreeing to periodic MJQ

reunions.

From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, Jackson recorded for Norman Granz's Pablo Records, including

ackson, Johnson, Brown & Company (1983), featuring Jackson with J. J. Johnson on trombone, Ray

Brown on bass, backed by Tom Ranier on piano, guitarist John Collins, and drummer Roy McCurdy.

Jackson was a guest on recordings by many leading jazz, blues, and soul artists, such as B.B. King, John

Coltrane, Wes Montgomery, and Ray Charles.

Jackson's composition "Bags' Groove" is a jazz standard ("Bags" was a nickname given to him by a bass

player in Detroit. "Bags" referred to the bags under his eyes[1] from his habit of staying up all night.) He

was featured on the NPR radio program Jazz Profiles. Some of his other signature compositions include

"The Late, Late Blues" (for his album with Coltrane, Bags & Trane), "Bluesology" (an MJQ staple), and

"Bags & Trane".

Jackson was a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey.[2] He died of liver cancer on October 9, 1999, aged 76, an

was interred at Woodlawn Cemetery, The Bronx, New York City.
