| Performance Notes | Theo catapulted from a Music degree at the University of Durham to playing some of London's most prestigious venues, from famous jazz clubs such as The 606 and Pizza Express to the gardens of Westminster Abbey.
Along the way the Theo Jackson band has already seen some notable musicians including Brandon Allen ('arguably the most exciting tenor player in Britain today' Tony Hall, Jazzwise), Nathaniel Facey (Parliamentary Award and MOBO Award winner for Best Jazz Act with Empirical), and Jamie McCredie (former BBC Young Guitarist of the Year).
Having been picked up by British publishing giant Splash Point, Theo's songs have taken their place amongst leading jazz artists Liane Carroll, Claire Martin and Ian Shaw.
Equally comfortable when deliberating over the delicate lines of an emotional ballad or improvising fluent bop vocal solos, Theo's live performances should not be missed!
"Soulful, earthy vocal-led jazz from this impressive young singer with a powerful yet subtle voice, Jackson also has a knack of penning Stevie Wonder-esque originals that avoid the usual crooner clichés. Helping maintain these lofty standards are superb Empirical altoist Facey and cool guitarist McCredie. Jackson's one to watch out for." -TIME OUT |
