Paul Jackson

Clear vinyl version, limited to 100 copies! Rare Jazz-Funk album from 1978 by the Headhunters founder featuring an all-star line-up including Herbie Hancock. Paul Jackson began playing bass at the age of nine and was considered by many of his teachers to be a musical prodigy. Jackson was known as a ''Musician's Musician'' and shaped a sound that launched a new direction in contemporary music, the so-called ''Pulse Playing'', a trademark sound of close-meshed funk grooves combined with sensational rhythms. With this innovative approach, he influenced entire generations of jazz and funk musicians to come. Paul's compositions were sampled by big acts from the likes of Prince, TLC, Mobb Deep and NWA just to name a few.
