Franz Jackson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Jackson (November 1, 1912 – May 6, 2008) was a saxophonist and clarinetist of the Chicago jazz school. Notable as one of the last surviving jazz artists to have recorded pre-1940, Jackson was still active well into his 90s in various jazz clubs of Chicago (for instance, "Joe's Bebop Café", and "Andy's"). In 1996, he received the Jazz Master Award from Arts Midwest.
