David Nicholas George Jackson (born 15 April 1947), nicknamed Jaxon, is an English progressive rock saxophonist, flautist, and composer.
In the NME, reviewer Jonathan Barnett called David Jackson "the Van Gogh of the saxophone – a renegade impressionist, dispensing distorted visions of the world outside from his private asylum window".
[4] Jackson was a member of the English progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator for most of the 1970s and for their 2005 reunion tour.
He collaborated on a number of projects with VdGG co-founder Judge Smith, and performed with Peter Gabriel at the Reading Festival in 1979.
[10] A characteristic hallmark is Jackson's black leather newsboy cap with its visor that clings to his forehead decorated with several pins, which he has worn on stage for more than 50 years.
