Milt Jackson

Milt Jackson (Vibraphone)

Born: 1st January 1923, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.

Died: 9th October 1999, New York City, New York, U.S.

Nationality: American

Milton Jackson nicknamed "Bags", 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 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. On occasion, Jackson also sang and played piano.
