Javon Jackson: Jackson Plays Dylan at Dazzle Jazz

Jackson Plays Dylan finds the saxophonist delving into songs spanning more than three decades of the legendary songwriter’s career, from still-poignant folk anthems to incisive and timeless love songs. “I have a deep respect for Bob Dylan’s musicianship and his commitment to the craft,” Jackson says. “I’m a fan. I am attracted to the humanism aspect of his work. He has an ability to speak truth to power and speak for those who may not have a voice, but there's always a vulnerability in Dylan’s music, especially in his love songs, and he's unapologetic about that.”
