Anthony has an extremely long discography. You can't listen to too much of a living legend!

My favorite Anthony Jackson was the stuff he played on Chaka Khan's first three solo CDs: Chaka; Naughty: What 'Cha Gonna Do For Me. Those CDs also feature great work by Will Lee, Marcus Miller, Abraham Laboriel, Willie Weeks, and Chaka's brother ---- Stevens.

Essential Anthony Jackson? Lots to choose from there.

There are a number of CDs with:

Steve Khan - The three initial Eyewitness CDs Blades/ModernTimes, Casa Loco, and Eyewitness (on these Steve Jordan is the drummer). He also played on Public Access,( w Weckl on drums). Headline (half Jackson/Chambers half Ron Carter). Crossings (Chambers on drums). Suitcase (Chambers on drums), and just recently Parting Shot (Chambers on drums, with three percussionists).

Michel Petrucciani - Trio w/ Gadd on drums, which I really like.

Michel Camillo - a trio format,(originally Weckl, later Hernandez). There are a number of CDs with Michel. All worth getting.

There are some recordings with the NYC gang Gadd/Jackson/Gale/Tee/MacDonald. I think Anthony calls this the Pendarvis section, because Leon Pendarvis used them on sessions. You can hear this truly exceptional collection of talent on a variety of things: A live Grover Washington Jr. video, a Quincy Jones CD - Sounds 'n Stuff Like That (an absolutely killer disco title track, w. Chaka on vocals), the Concert in the Park with Simon and Garfunkle (not the entire section, Gadd/Tee/Jackson only).

If you find Anthony paired with any great drummer (Gadd/Chambers/Weckl) and you will have a special treat, because he is able to lock in something fierce.

He also appears with Lee Ritenour, Chick Corea, Steely Dan and a variety of other places. All worth checking out.

I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of. He has done a lot.

Also, the Chaka Khan stuff mentioned above was ground breaking work, and is definitely essential AJ.

"For The Love Of Money" and "Give The People What They Want" by The O'Jays both feature some classic Anthony Jackson.
