Come Kick off Oxnard Jazz Festival Weekend with Muyungo Jackson’s Jungle Jazz
Join us for a free concert at Heritage Square in Oxnard on September 13th, curated by Rosa Carbajal and presented by the Ventura Music Festival, as we kick off the 7th season of the Oxnard Jazz Festival!
Blending African, Latin, and Caribbean grooves with American jazz roots, Jackson describes his music as Jungle Jazz—a hard-swinging style infused with the funky influences of his global upbringing.
A four-time Grammy winner with Keb Mo and Dianne Reeves, Jackson has achieved Gold and Platinum records with artists like Stevie Wonder, Sting, and Kenny Loggins. In his early years, he toured and performed with legends like Miles Davis and many others. With a collection of over 1,200 instruments, Jackson’s diverse musical influences continue to fuel his passion for sharing his music with the world.
