Morto a 79 anni il sassofonista blues Melvin Jackson

Gennaio 1, 2015 Redazione Spettacolo

Ha suonato con i leggendari B.B. King e Bobby ‘Bluè Bland. Malato da tempo di Alzheimer, era ricoverato in un ospizio di Las Vegas. Nato a Nashville, nel Tennessee, nel 1935, trombettista e sassofonista, avvicinatosi alla musica da bambino grazie al padre, anch’egli musicista, Jackson ha suonato per decenni con Bland e King, in oltre 90 paesi del mondo, lasciando l’attività solo lo scorso settembre. Tony Coleman, storico batterista della band di B.B. King, lo ha definito un eccellente professionista e perfomer.
