Frank Jackson, a Bay Area and West Coast Jazz legend, was house pianist at Jimbo’s famed Bop City after-hours club in San Francisco’s historic Fillmore district. He accompanied such Jazz icons as Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Frank Foster, Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald, Ben Webster, Dizzy Gillespie, Cal Tjader, and more. Frank performs regularly on both coasts, and won strong national attention for his latest CD, New York After Dark, which renowned pianist James Williams produced and played on with a stellar New York cast.
