Frank Jackson is a San Francisco jazz legend and a world treasure. His outstanding vocals would be more than enough to satisfy, but when you add his brilliant piano skills and his joyful, seemingly telepathic collaboration with his fellow musicians (Noel Jewkes on reeds, Al Obidinski on bass, and Akira Tana on drums), this is an experience made in heaven. If you like real jazz and sensitive vocal styling, take advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the real deal: Mr. Frank Jackson.Written on Jun 23 2008

The place was so hot on Friday night and no fresh air and caused me almost passed out. They should have had some fans prepared for such unusual weather in SF to make more comfortable.Written on Jun 23 2008

Description
As a traditional jazz musician and one of the most accomplished interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Frank Jackson is a consummate entertainer, able to fulfill practically any request. He has an astonishing knowledge of the length and breadth of the jazz repertoire, and as enthusiastic audiences know, if you’re looking for an obscure standard, Jackson is the man to hear.
Frank Jackson's jazz education accelerated during his years as the house pianist at San Francisco's legendary "Bop City." Musicians traveling up and down the West Coast would drop in at "Bop City" to jam after their gigs or just to see who was in town. Being in the house band, Frank got the chance to associate with practically everyone: Charlie "Bird" Parker, Billie Holiday, Frank Foster, Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Harold Land, Joe Comfort, Erroll Garner, Art "God" Tatum, Nat "King" Cole (who had a major influence on Frank's career), Chet Baker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and the list goes on.
In addition to these legends, Frank has performed over the years with such jazz luminaries as Lionel Hampton, Gerald Wilson, Cal Tjader, Lester Young, Ben Webster, Ruth Brown, T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Witherspoon, Ernestine Anderson, Ernie Andrews, Harold Jones, Omar Clay, Rufis Reid, Jeff Chambers, Larry Vuckovich, Noel Jewkes, Mary Stallings and many more.
