Michael Gregory Jackson Clarity Quartet: WHENUFINDITUWILLKNOW

Leader Michael Gregory Jackson plays electric and acoustic guitars, harmonica, and various percussion instruments, even adding vocals along with a team of Niels Praestholm/b, Simon Spang Hanssen/as-ss and Matias Wolf Anderson/dr on this collection of loose and flexible originals. More than half of the pieces are dedicated to artists, friends and inspiration, such as the rockish and rapid fire “Clarity 6” featuring Praestholm’s bass, and the heavy backbeating “Blue Blue” with some rich electric guitar work and wailing harmonica. Hanssen’s alto ricochets on “Souvenirs” and his soprano is reflective on the dreamy “Meditation.” Jackson brings voices to a hip R&Bish “Ah Yay” and the team sounds like th Average White Band on the funky “Clarity 3.” Jams with themes.
