Artist History After scoring highly in classical examinations on the piano and double bass, his attention turned towards jazz as the Mecca of musical knowledge he desired. “I really wanted to play my instruments well and that eventually led me to a degree in music improvisation at the Victorian College of the Performing Arts. Getting into jazz and the history of improvisation in black music really got me inspired to write a kick ass pop record.”

Press Reviews Mic Jackson - Ship of Fools: reviewed August 15, 2001 A good CD without a bad song on it, Mic is an excellent songwriter and a really good vocalist - at times I found his voice reminiscent of John Lennon. T.Ventura, CFOX FM Vancouver
