ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS FOR VIOLIN AND GUITAR BY DUO JACKSON

Violet Blue 1996 duration 6′.34”
Dedicated to Chris & Jilly Marshall
The colours of music shape our dreams, the rhythms touch our souls,
The sounds engage our ears and the shapes of harmony converse with our minds.

Our Art is a constant flowering, each flowering take us to new adventures in sound . Violet Blue is a painting of Musical shapes, rhythms and sounds.

African Violet 1997 duration 8 mins
Dedicated to Emily Jackson
Here, the rhythms hint of a distant land and melody speaks of joy and flowers. Harmonic simplicity invites rhythm and improvisation to take centre stage.

Cloud Waltz  duration 4’7” Spacious and lyrical in triple time; clouds play in the summer sky; ethereal spirits sing.
