Ron Jackson is an exceptional musician, consultant and visionary. As the Director of Special Events for an exclusive private club, located in New York City's famed Greenwich Village neighborhood, where music, culture and art is and always has been on the progressive forefront, I turn to Ron to create the right sound for my special events. I've worked with Ron a number of times, on a spectrum of different events from fundraisers to holiday-themed events, to ambient food & wine events Ron always comes through with just the right sound, and manages the ensemble of musicians from beginning to end, so that I don't have to. (Priceless!) I highly recommend Ron Jackson.
Ron Jackson and his band were exceptional that night providing a variety of Jazz, Blues and even a Tango piece in collaboration with dancers.
Empire Eventus looks forward to working with him in the future and we highly recommend him.
