REVIEWS
I have no hesitation in recommending Duo Jackson as performers. They are great professionals, adapting readily to the venue and audience. They are also good ambassadors for New Zealand. It was a pleasure to host them in Madrid as fellow Kiwis.

VIRTUOSO NIGHT ON “THE MUSIC OF SPAIN”
On 31 March 2007, the versatile “Spine” of Pataka was transformed into the ambiance of a Spanish cabaret to stage “Andalucian Nights.” The outstanding guitarist Miles Jackson displayed his virtuosity in both Classical and Flamenco styles, reflecting superbly the Andalucian mix of Old Spanish, Moorish, Mozarabic, Jewish and Gypsy styles.
Jackson’s inspired programme ranged from traditional pieces, like the spine tingling Granadina and Fandango de Huelva, to the all-too-simple wonderful compositions of Francisco Tarrega ( Capprichio Arabe, and Requerdos de la Alhambra), to Spanish variations on Mozart’s Magic Flute. Also especially enjoyable was Miles own composition Andalucian Waltz.
