Following his acclaimed collaborations with poet and activist Nikki Giovanni, Jackson turns his focus to the music of legendary songwriter Bob Dylan, reinterpreting his catalog through a jazz lens. He discusses the inspiration behind the album, the challenge of translating Dylan's iconic songs into instrumental storytelling, and what makes this music timeless across genres.
Released on Solid Jackson Records in collaboration with Palmetto Records, Jackson Plays Dylan is a bold tribute that bridges jazz and one of America's most influential musical voices.
It's a fascinating conversation about honoring legacy, creative reinterpretation, and the evolving language of jazz.
