D.D. Jackson (featuring David Murray): Peace-Song
Jackson's playing betrays obvious similarity to that of the late Don Pullen: it straddles the gap between swinging jazz and avant-garde abstraction, frequently utilizing thick chords and punchy note clusters to accomplish the task. But there's no doubt that he has his own voice. In the realm of creative rhythmic deconstruction, for example, Jackson definitely has his very own vision of syncopation. The tunes on Peace-Song, are all Jackson's own, ranging from tight funk to bluesy up-tempo jazz to loose ballads.
