About Georgina Jackson (a short biography)

After acquiring a strange and somewhat unfashionable obsession with Jazz and Big Band music at an early age, (and in Wigan!) Georgina began her musical career working as a professional trumpet player almost everywhere up, down, left and right of the country. Working for years with many famous faces and Big Bands in Concert Halls, television and radio, Georgina learnt her trade as a lead trumpet player.

Harbouring a desire to wear a posh frock rather than the same as ‘the lads’ in the band, Georgina decided to make a dash for the front mike!
Setting up her own Big Band to play at a local ballroom was the first step to fufilling her frock and singing ambitions, and when the audience didn’t booo (but actually cheered!) she decided that she would like to do it again, quite a few times actually!

Having sung in and led various sized bands with miscellaneous musicians in some very miscellaneous venues, Georgina decided to record and release her first CD. With support from Jazz FM (CD of the week) and Sir Michael Parkinson ‘’til there was you’ climbed to the dizzy heights of Number 8 in the HMV jazz charts. The critical success of her first album led to Georgina landing her dream job as resident singer with the Ronnie Scotts Jazz Orchestra, were she performs most months. Since then Georgina has warbled at Pizza Express Dean Street, Snape Maltings Proms, The Sage in Gateshead and even on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Friday Night is Music Night’ with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Georgina is also very proud to work in the horn and backing vocal section for the tremendously amazing and thoroughly lovely Seal.

Another dream was made reality when she recorded her second album at Abbey Road studios in London, beautiful songs especially arranged by special people and played by beautiful and very talented friends. This album will be out soon entitled ‘Watch What Happens’.....
