The Jackson Room, Southeast Queens and Jamaica's go to place for jazz has a concert this weekend called "Spring 2 Jazz."  Ed Jackson is the club owner and leader of the Jackson Room's in-house jazz group: The Ed Jackson Quartet.

The Jackson Room had a number of well regarded guest performers the last few months like Irini Res, Cecilia Coleman, The Willie Martinez Quartet, and the Jerome Jennings Trio.  However, the Ed Jackson Quartet is coming back bringing the jazz heat this Spring.

My father works for them.  He's worked for them for a number of years before starting the Southeast Queens Scoop.

We're looking forward to attending the next concert.  My dad and I both immensely enjoy Ed Jackson's music.  The Ed Jackson Quartet will be back in da house performing their trademark music with amazing artistry.

Southeast Queens Scoop Owners Nzinga & Kamau Austin

Mr. Jackson is a talented performer and gracious club owner.  He actually allowed me to sing on the Jackson Room stage.

The audience at the Jackson Room is very upbeat and supportive.  I once sang on the stage at the Jackson Room and the audience there actually clapped for me and gave me money at the end of my selection.
    
My dad is one of the best dads you can have because he works for famous people and famous jazz artists in Southeast Queens area and he promotes them.  The Jackson Room is becoming very well known in the area for jazz performances from world class jazz artists.  Many of them have played for major jazz clubs and bands in Manhattan and across the world.
