The Jacksons: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About The Jacksons

The Jacksons are a family group formed in Gary, Indiana in 1964, rooted in the Motown and R&B tradition and later moving through disco and Philly soul. Known first to many audiences as The Jackson 5, they developed a tight ensemble sound built on syncopation, stacked harmonies, and dance-floor rhythm. Their New York City appearances include programs at Iridium that revisit deep cuts from the Jackson 5 and Jacksons catalog, sometimes alongside artists such as Vivian Sessoms. The approach favors groove and arrangement craft over spectacle.
