TWO TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNER
BRIAN LYNCH
JACOBSON HAS A BEAUTIFUL TONE THAT SHADES WITH LUSH VIBRATO. HIS LINES, ALWAYS MELODIC, HINT AT SOMETHING NEW AND SURPRISING AROUND THE CORNER. THAT MAKES FOR HIGHLY COMMUNICATIVE PLAYING AND FOR US, INVOLVED LISTENING. LIKE PLAYERS SUCH AS ROY HARGROVE AND TOM HARRELL, JACOBSON IS A "TOUCHER" AND NOT "PUSHER" OF UNNECESSARY TECHNIQUE OR PRE-PLANNED PATTERNS. BY
