Beat Collective: Javon Jackson

Javon Jackson: Jackson Plays Dylan LIVE at Dazzle Denver Thursday, October 8, 2026 Doors open at 8:00 p.m. | Show at 8:30 p.m. Thank you for your support of KUVO JAZZ with your Beat Collective membership!&nbsp; About Javon JacksonOn the heels of his acclaimed two-album collaboration with the late poet and activist Nikki Giovanni, tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson embarks on a new project paying tribute to one of America&rsquo;s most revered songwriters, whose own work has been hailed for its intricate poetry and outspoken politics. With Jackson Plays Dylan, released on March 27, 2026 via his own Solid Jackson Records imprint in a collaboration with Palmetto Records, the saxophonist explores the music of the iconic singer-songwriter, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, and Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Dylan. Jackson Plays Dylan finds the saxophonist delving into songs spanning more than three decades of the legendary songwriter&rsquo;s career, from still-poignant folk anthems to incisive and timeless love songs. &ldquo;I have a deep respect for Bob Dylan&rsquo;s musicianship and his commitment to the craft,&rdquo; Jackson says. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a fan.&rdquo; Jackson&rsquo;s fandom is not a lifelong one, however. The jazz-focused saxophonist had grown up with almost no awareness of rock music, unfamiliar with even a cultural icon on the level of Bob Dylan. That didn&rsquo;t change until he was in his 20s and joined the ranks of the final incarnation of the Jazz Messengers. &ldquo;Art Blakey&#39;s attorney was a big, big fan of Dylan,&rdquo; Jackson recalls. &quot;So, he shared a lot of his music with me.&quot; LineupJavon Jackson - Tenor SaxophoneJeremy Manasia - Piano &amp; Fender Rhodes Isaac Levien - Upright Bass and Electric Bass Tyson Jackson - Drums RSVP Required Please note: RSVP is for a maximum of two tickets.
