Milt Jackson
Milt (* 1923) was an American jazz vibraphonist, usually thought of as a bebop player,
although he performed in several jazz idioms. He is especially remembered for his cool
swinging solos as a member of the Modern Jazz Quartet and his penchant for collaborating
with several hard bop and post-bop players.
A very expressive player, Jackson differentiated himself from other vibraphonists in his attention to variations on harmonics and rhythm. He was particularly fond of the twelve-bar blues at slow tempos. He preferred to set the vibraphone's oscillator to a low 3.3 revolutions per second (as opposed to Lionel Hampton's speed of 10 revolutions per second) for a more subtle tremolo. On occasion, Jackson sang and played piano and organ professionally. Milt passed away in October 1999. from Wikipedia |
