This music isn\u2019t really mine. I learned it from those who came before me. It\u2019s my job to pass on what I’ve learned. That\u2019s the Tradition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Half of the power duo Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson, Brian wrote, arranged and produced over 10 albums over an eight-year period. Time and time again that music has found its way onto hundreds of cuts from tracks like Common’s \u201cThe People\u201d (from “We Almost Lost Detroit”) to Kendrick Lamar’s \u201cPoe Mans Dreams\u201d (from “Peace Go With You, Brother”) to Tupac\u2019s \u201cReady for Whatever\u201d (from \u201c1980\u201d) and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 50 years later, Brian is still building with artists as diverse as Adrian Younge (Black Dynamite) and Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Tribe Called Quest) and has co-produced his latest BBE album release with producer Daniel Coll\u00e1s (Phenomenal Handclap Band, Joe Bataan)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian looks to both the present and the past for inspiration in order to honor the ancient tradition of the griot – the African troubadour of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMusic is truly my sanctuary, a reason to live, and a bright moment\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
