SKF NOTE: Jazz promoter JaiJai Jackson provides a real service to jazz musicians, including drummers, with her Jazz Network Worldwide and her Not Just Jazz Network.
Jackson comes from an esteemed musical family. Legendary jazz bassist Chubby Jackson is her father. Drummer Duffy Jackson is her brother.
My introduction to Ms. Jackson’s multi-faceted musical network was through her Linkedin page. She is always generous in opening her page to jazz promoters of various stripes, like me, where I can share some of my blog posts.
About a week ago, for the first time, I came across Jackson’s website, where she was featuring drummer Jimmy Ford and his trio. Ford has impressive musical credentials. He’s also a drum maker!
I enjoyed this video of Ford and his trio playing Thelonious Monk’s “Monk’s Dream.” Ford, his drums, and his trio sound great.
Thank you, JaiJai Jackson for the introduction.

Thank you, Scott, for taking the time to peer into Jimmy Ford’s musical journey. He truly takes his artistry seriously, so much so, that he is a designer/restorer of drums, his work is impeccable both on the bandstand. Otherwise, you will find him in his Ford Drum studio where the craftsmanship on restoring drums is at play.
My best wishes to you, we so much enjoy your posts in our group on LinkedIn, The Jazz Network Worldwide, and the Not Just Jazz Network.
See ya over there! Peace.
