Every last Saturday of the month, prepare to dive into the fascinating world of jazz, in a journey led by Ed Jackson that will allow you to experience the pleasant sensations of life which is hosted by Jackson Room in Queens, New York.

Ed Jackson is an accomplished saxophonist & active jazz player on the NY & International scene. Ed Jackson’s dynamic sound encompasses both the tradition and future of jazz. His versatility enables him to move within the various styles of jazz while at the same time maintaining a unique sound and direction.
The Jackson Room which is located in the heart of historical Queens, happens to be in the neighborhood where Ed grew up. This particular area of Queens in the town of St Albans, was home to an uncanny number of musicians including Count Basie, Fats Waller, Illinois Jacquet, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Lenny White to name a few.

The Jackson Room has provided Ed with a chance to fulfill a more personal mission of enhancing Queens’ cultural landscape by bringing jazz back to the community.
