Artist: Paul Jackson
Paul Jackson was an American jazz electric bassist and composer. He was a founding member of the Headhunters, and played on several of Herbie Hancock's albums, including Head Hunters and Thrust. At age 14, he performed with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra and went on to study at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
The self-titled Head Hunters album became the best-selling jazz album of all time, selling over a million copies (the first jazz album to do so) and peaking to number 13 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Jackson co-wrote "Chameleon", the album's lead track that later became a jazz standard. He subsequently played on Thrust (1974), Man-Child (1975), the live album Flood (1975) and Secrets (1976).
Another two albums were released by the group, but were performed and recorded without Hancock: Survival of the Fittest (1975) and Straight from the Gate (1977). In the former, Jackson co-wrote "God Make Me Funky" and sang its lead vocals. He went on to release his first solo album, Black Octopus, in 1978, which featured his bandmates Hancock and Maupin
Jackson released his second solo album, Funk on a Stick, in 2005.
