On the heels of his acclaimed two-album collaboration with the late poet and activist Nikki Giovanni, tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson embarks on a new project paying tribute to one of America’s most revered songwriters. With Jackson Plays Dylan, released via his own Solid Jackson Records imprint in collaboration with Palmetto Records, Jackson explores the music of iconic singer-songwriter, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Dylan.
