Eric Jackson | Jazz with Eric in the Evening
"Eric Jackson has been the dean of the Boston jazz scene for 25 years."-Boston Magazine
First album I ever owned: I bought my first three records all on the same day — Chicken and Dumplings by Bobby Timmons, Soul Clinic by Hank Crawford, and Soul Message by Richard Groove Holmes.
Five desert island albums: Anything by Coltrane or Miles
Greatest place to see live music: I love outdoor festivals and concerts.
Favorite book about music/musician: The Music of Black Americans by Eileen Southern
When not listening to Jazz, I listen to Stevie Wonder, Prince
If I wasn’t a radio host, I’d be a psychiatrist.
The best part of my job is hearing lots of new music and meeting lots of people.
