Noah Jackson is a Grammy-nominated musician born in Detroit and based in the Metro-Detroit area, proficient in bass, cello, composition, and teaching, spanning genres from jazz to classical, and funk to R&B. His interest in jazz music began with his involvement in the Civic Jazz Orchestra (affiliated with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra) under the tutelage of Marcus Belgrave and Prof. Rodney Whitaker with whom he continued his studies at Michigan State University. Noah completed his graduate studies at Manhattan School of Music in New York City where his career and artistic development took off and has performed with many jazz luminaries like Winard Harper, Branford Marsalis, The Marsalis Family Band, Abdullah Ibrahim, Hugh Masekela, and Kenny Garrett.

Full Circle is for listeners to experience the power of connection through music. Combining the beauty of classical and jazz music with modern genres demonstrates the concept of the present being the future of the past. The result encourages listeners to discover meaning for themselves in the music. Noah’s music merges elements of afrobeat, Motown, even house music inspired by his touring career as well as his musical foundation forged in Detroit. By assembling relatable rhythmic backdrops, memorable melodic statements, enticing harmonies, lush arranging, and virtuosic musicians, the music dares the audience to be present to the moment.
