The Jackson 5
The Jackson 5 are a family group formed in Gary, Indiana in the mid-1960s, rooted in Motown-era songcraft and later branching into R&B and disco. Their catalog is often revisited in New York City through programs at Iridium, including TRU Music’s DEEP CUTS series that foregrounds lesser-heard material from both The Jackson 5 and The Jacksons.
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.
