Randy Jackson is an American rock musician from New Orleans, Louisiana, best known for his role as frontman for the band Zebra. He was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. He started playing piano and guitar at age five. His earliest influences were Les Paul and Mary Ford, The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Moody Blues, and Led Zeppelin. In 1973, he joined Shepards Bush as lead guitarist. It was here that he met Felix Hanemann. Hanemann worked at Jazz City Studios in New Orleans owned by Cosimo Matassa. Shepards Bush recorded a demo at the studio which was Jackson’s first experience in a recording studio. Jackson and Hanemann left Shepards Bush a year later. They soon met drummer Guy Gelso and formed “Zebra” in 1975. It was at this point that Jackson started singing lead vocals. After playing the New Orleans area for two years, Zebra moved to New York (Long Island) in 1977 and in 1982 signed a recording contract with Atlantic Records. Their first album, ''Zebra'' produced by Jack Douglas, went gold and was the fastest selling debut album in the history of Atlantic Records. During the next couple of years Zebra played opener for Aerosmith, Journey, ZZ Top, Loverboy, Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar and REO Speedwagon. The group has produced five albums and five videos with combined sales of over 2,000,000. In addition to working with Zebra, Jackson performs lead vocals for The Music of Led Zeppelin, The Music of Pink Floyd〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Windborne Music )〕 and The Music of The Doors;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zebra's Randy Jackson To Perform After Storm Game In Tampa )〕 tributes to the eponymous bands as backed by an orchestra. He also frequently plays live acoustic shows across the country. In 1989, Jackson got a call from drummer Kenny Aronoff to join him and tour playing guitar and keyboards with the original “Jefferson Airplane” (Grace Slick, Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady) on their U.S. reunion tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Randy Jackson (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
