Keefe Jackson Has More Than Just Sax Appeal.

Back in Arkansas, Keefe Jackson could pay the bills playing other people's music -- but to play his own, he had to come [to Chicago].” The Big Pond By Peter Margasak in The Chicago Reader. His Fast Citizens group is “exploring the boundaries between composition and improvisation.” "The Fast Citizens have thrown themselves into a challenging melting pot of music, attempting to stir the rich and intangible mixture into something with shape and form. What appears oxymoronic at first glance emerges as a captivating experiment, one that introduced new contrasts to an exciting genre and forces detractors to appreciate the almost metaphysical, impulsive structures that exist in the midst of formlessness." Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens Ready Everyday by Michael Patrick Brady in PopMatters.
