Jazz T-Bone: The homepage for Joe Jackson

This is what workaholic Joe Jackson is into these days:

The Airmen of Note I've been playing lead trombone since 1991, and effective August 2004 I am the Music Director of the USAF Airmen of Note. You can get information on the Airmen of Note, as well as the rest of the United States Air Force Band (including the Note's upcoming performance schedule) at the Air Force Band website.
Fairhaven School In 1998, my wife Linda and I and about 3 or 4 other families in our area led a community effort to found, build, open, and operate Fairhaven School, a non-profit school in Upper Marlboro, MD. The school has, by most any account, thrived (thriven? throve?) since opening, now serving as a community for over 60 students. While the school was being built, my role, besides spending approximately 20-25 hours per week swinging a hammer at the site, was to pay for things and people, track expenses, ensure we had the money to do what we needed to do, report to the bank and to the founding committee. We also performed extensive advertising and public affairs and fundraising events. My role with the school has evolved continually since it opened. Nowadays I am still the corporate treasurer, dealing with all of the financial, tax, and payroll issues, and I help them maintain their computer network as well as a moderate-scale database that I designed for them. We recently finished our second building.
LJ Properties Linda and I have begun a fledgling real estate business, buying condos and fixing them up with duct tape and paper clips. Whoops - I guess it's too late to ask if any of you need a place to live...
Composer/Arranger I have been a jazz composer and arranger for many years, having written extensively in my high school days (I won a DownBeat magazine "DeeBee" award for "best big band arrangement" for my chart on "Stella By Starlight" in 1984). I concentrated more on playing during my college and early professional years, so not much writing happened during that period. I wrote sporadically until Dave Perkel and I got a contract to book a twelve-piece funk band for the NBA's then-Washington Bullets called Bullets Brass, for which I wrote most of the book. I also write educational charts that are published by Warner Brothers Publications, and I contribute regularly for the Airmen of Note.
