It is because of my love and admiration for my father Chubby Jackson for his accomplishments in jazz and television that Five String Productions has been created.
May 6, 2004 (Press Release) --
Statement from Jaijai Jackson, daughter of jazz bassist, bandleader, television personality and inventor of the five string bass, Chubby Jackson and president of Five String Productions:
It is my joy to launch a company dedicated to one of the greatest fathers a child could have! My father was an avid believer in being an originator and not an imitator. He always displayed humor in his performances, and brought his incredible musical talent to the forefront with such ease and excitement. I remember as a little girl watching him conduct his big bands and play his bass with an infectious energy and inspiring the musicians with his jovial cheerleading abilities. I marvel in these memories. It is because of my love and admiration for my father and his accomplishments in jazz and television that Five String Productions has been created.
The mission of Five String Productions is to keep jazz alive through all forms of media and presentation. Our five key areas of business are: Education, Event Coordination/Staging and Video Production, Artist Management, Music Wellness and the Publishing/Merchandising of musical intellectual properties.
Five String is committed to involving students of all ages across the country in our outreach endeavors by bringing great jazz players to students for clinics and community concerts. In addition, Five String will present concerts open to the public that will incorporate all styles of music. Based on the long-standing personal and professional relationship between Chubby Jackson and Buddy Rich and their families, Five String Productions has aligned itself with Cathy Rich of Scabeba Entertainment utilizing the Buddy Rich Band as its forum for these types of productions. Our quest is to prove that when musical styles are combined in performance, it will be demonstrated that music is truly a universal language. This idea will be spring-boarded by producing a “Musician’s Studio” type television show hosted by key musical personalities. Interviews will be held with musical artists across the board. This show will be distributed domestically and internationally.
In addition, to the projects being launched, Jaijai Jackson and Cathy Rich who sang with the group ZEE featured with the Buddy Rich Band are currently penning a book entitled “A Tale of Two Fathers.”
Five String is currently looking to recruit extraordinary talents in all areas of musicianship and dance performance to participate in a “jazz/funk/hip-hop/musical and dance ensemble” representing Chubby Jackson’s and Buddy Rich’s spirit in performance to tour across the world.
In many ways jazz music is a healer, and Five String promotes music wellness. Five String facilitates the ability to share great jazz with those who can benefit from its therapeutic nature. When we speak of music wellness, we deliver its therapy in forms of bringing jazz to nursing homes, retirement homes, and hospitals.
Five String is actively seeking sponsors that support our unique presentations of music and performance whose missions resonate with that of Five String. We are just one voice in the mix of life but we want to help make a difference just like Chubby and Buddy did!
