Profile:

American soul/jazz keyboardist, flautist, singer, composer, producer, and artist.

Jackson is well known for his collaborations in the 1970s with artist Gil Scott-Heron, with his Fender Rhodes electric piano and flute accompaniments prominently featuring in many of their compositions – most notably on tracks "The Bottle" and "Your Daddy Loves You", from their first official album collaboration "Winter In America" (1974).
