Ron Jackson • A Guitar Thing

Review
by Scott Yanow
Guitarist Ron Jackson's debut as a leader is an impressive outing with pianist Benny Green, bassist Lonnie Plaxico, and drummer Cecil Brooks III. Very much a straight-ahead date, Jackson (who describes himself as a "modern traditionalist") performs standards and originals (of which "On the Edge" is most memorable) with a reasonably original voice. His music always swings.

El debut del guitarrista Ron Jackson como líder es una salida impresionante con el pianista Benny Green, el bajista Lonnie Plaxico, y el baterista Cecil Brooks III. Jackson (que se describe a sí mismo como un "tradicionalista moderno") interpreta estándares y originales (de los cuales "On the Edge" es el más memorable) con una voz razonablemente original. Su música siempre tiene ritmo.
