Fred Jackson (born 1929)[1] is an American R&B and jazz tenor saxophonist.
Based in Atlanta, Georgia,[2][3][4] Jackson began his career as an R&B saxophonist.[5] He performed in Little Richard's band from 1951 until 1953.[5] Jackson also accompanied vocalist Billy Wright, appearing on several recordings for Savoy Records.[4] Later in the decade, he joined vocalist Lloyd Price's band, performing in concert tours during a peak in Price's popularity.[5] Jackson also served as the bandleader for vocalist Chuck Willis.[6] In 1961, Jackson recorded with B.B. King.[5]
Jackson began making jazz recordings during the early 1960s, accompanying soul jazz organists such as John Patton and Baby Face Willette on several Blue Note albums.[5] In 1962, he recorded one album, Hootin' 'n Tootin', under his own name for Blue Note.[2][5] (The album's organist, Earl Van Dyke, joined The Funk Brothers at Motown.[7]) Jackson led a subsequent recording session for Blue Note, but these tracks were not released until 1998, when they were appended to the CD edition of Hootin' 'n Tootin'.[5]
After the mid-1960s, Jackson continued playing R&B and soul music but largely disappeared from the jazz scene.[5]
