Jackson Garrett has performed and recorded in Montreal, New York City, Dallas, Palm Springs and Los Angeles.
Influenced early on in his career by The Beatles, Steely Dan, Santana, Michael Franks, Stevie Wonder and many 70's era artists, Jackson Garrett gravitated toward a jazzy sound as his music mellowed.
In Palm Springs, CA he met Pat Rizzo, Andy Fraga, and Earl Brown, locals on the jazz scene with storied pasts, and his act soon became a fixture in the music scene.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present Jackson Garrett with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Please Call Me, Sanjaya!"
Jackson Garrett’s “Please Call Me, Sanjaya!” is a blend of a wide variety of musical styles, moods, and influences. This release showcases Garrett’s ability to be comfortable and shine in any genre, including blues, jazz, rock, pop, and even Latin-oriented styles. This album is all about versatility, from the Brazilian flavor of “The Wedding Samba” and “Let It Burn,” to the straightforward rock of “Champagne Tower.” The instrumentation also varies, with the appropriately titled “Cool And Easy” featuring the subtlety of brushes on the drums and a soprano sax providing a melodic solo. This is a well-produced release, focused on creating memorable songs that are easy to listen to. Other notable moments include the catchy, Steely Dan-influenced pop of “You Can’t Do That,” the funky horn section of “Messin’ With The Kid,” and the fun swagger of “Easy Strut.” If you enjoy easy listening vocals in the jazz-rock style, this album is worth checking out. -Rodney and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
