- Jaijai Jackson grew up in the music business, daughter of the late "Chubby Jackson" famed jazz legend bassist, inventor of the five string bass, TV kiddie-show host, writer, composer and is darn proud to be. At the age of six, she danced and performed on her Dad's television show, felt the pulse of the business and was determined to express her mark as a "Jackson".
After the many plays and chorus's she explored through high-school, she then moved to California for the "bright lights", Jaijai chose to learn the business from the "business end" and soon found herself, running a recording studio, doing voice-overs, booking acts and represented 27 jazz musicians at one time through a family booking agency.
She then chose to work for the biggest "big band agency" in New York City, as "right arm" to Willard Alexander, of the Willard Alexander Agency. (Learned from the best) In the interim working at the agency and coordinating tours for Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Harry James, Maynard Ferguson, and many other well-known bands and individual jazz artists she learned the game.
Jaijai left Willard's office and persued performance, first engagement was at Madison Square Garden and prestigious venues all throughout England (ie. Royal Festival Hall), Scotland and Wales with the Buddy Rich Band! Her sincerest efforts became an integral part of the benefit performance as Associate Producer of "A Celebration of Music" for the late Buddy Rich at Carnegie Hall, in association with Executive Producer Cathy Rich and the JVC Jazz Festival, it was an amazing experience.
Soon after back in California, she collaborated with her father in compiling a catalogue of all original music videos of the 30's and 40's distributed by a Disney owned television/film distribution company, International Creative Exchange, lead by Olivier de Courson who was responsible for launching the Disney Channel this experience afforded Jaijai the opportunity to learn domestic and international TV/Film distribution/co-productions, coordination and foreign licensing of product.
Moving forward in her aspirations of the entertainment industry, Jaijai assisted the Sr. VP of Bookings for the special events being presented at the Pantages Theatre, Greek Theatre and the Pacific Amphitheater for the Nederlander Organization in Hollywood, CA.
NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) in Carlsbad, CA commissioned Jaijai to produce the opening of the "Making of Music Museum" where more than 2500 people attended and also where her father's two basses had resided for the past few years.
Jaijai collaborated with major corporations through various production companies from conceptual ideas to full on production of events and entertainment direction.
