The New York Post said, "Chip Jackson posesses a big melodious tone, exquisite intonation and a flowing time sense...his solos are models of inventiveness with an inbuilt economy..." Mr. Jackson has brought this inventiveness to performances with Elvin Jones, Red Rodney, Stan Getz, Horace Silver, Tony Bennett, Woody Herman, and Gary Burton, among others.

Chip Jackson's multifaceted career includes writing, leading and arranging for his own groups, clinical and private teaching, record and commercial dates, and ongoing international touring. In addition to several of the above artists, he can also be heard on record with Chuck Mangione, Jack Walrath, and Joe Beck.

Chip Jackson received his degree in music from the Berklee School of Music in Boston in 1983 and has made New York his home for many years.
