From Gypsy to Jazz to Bach and Shostakovich and anything in between, this classically trained ensemble has branched out into an exotic array of genres to create something uniquely their own.
Trio Jackson is a family group that has been playing together for over twenty years. This has created a magical musical synthesis born of their intuitive, creative and empathetic ensemble expression.
Their classical training allows them to present with authority and style the works by Shostakovich and Bach which have been faithfully arranged by Miles. Their flair for improvisation allows them to play Jazz in an exciting and very original style.
The essence of great music is often found in the traditional Folk melodies and musical forms from around the World. Trio Jacksons’ awareness of this along with their eclectic tastes and craftsmanship allows them to offer their listeners a wonderfully diverse palette of musical colours and emotions, expressed with virtuosity, passion, and beauty. Their programme will feature one of their own compositions and works by Bach, Shostakovich, Schubert, Sarasate, Torroba, Scott Joplin, Romanian gypsy, Jazz, and Flamenco.
