My AWESOME Time Playing With Chester Thompson!!!!!

Since I'm up, let me tell you I had an AWESOME time in California, playing with The Chester Thompson Quartet. For those who DON'T know, Chester is a BEAST on the Hammond B-3 Organ. He is the original keyboardist with Tower Of Power and has been recently known for playing with Santana for ages! Here we are playing his signature tune "Squib Cakes."

ENJOY DA FUNK!!!!!!

The Explosion Group Website Is Now Up!!!!

Hey everybody!

It's been a looooong time since I've posted anything. Let me tell you, lots of things are happening and changing and I can't wait to tell you all about it.

However, the reason for this post is to tell you about a new endeavor I've launched. Many of you know I do music production and composition, but I've now added the role of artist manager to my list of services that I offer. The name of the company is called The Explosion Group! I'm super excited about this and I'll be keeping you all posted here. Meanwhile, please do me a favor, and check out the site when you get a moment. You can find the link here: http://www.theexplosiongroup.com

Again, I know...long time, no see. But, I promise, it won't be that long again.

Blessings to you all,
Nio

DON'T WAIT FOR ANYONE ELSE TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS!!!

As I reflect back on the release of my CD, it's amazing to think it took 2 years for this! Especially when I got tired of waiting, and decided to do something myself, it took 3 days!!! Most of the time, our dreams don't become fulfilled because we fail to take action. Regardless of what someone else says, or promises, it's still OUR dream. Therefore, it's up to US to make it happen.

Don't get me wrong: people really wanted to help me out with this. People love the music, love me and sincerely want to see this project take flight. However, it wasn't until I stood up and said NOW OR NEVER, did something materialize into a final product.

If you have the vision, you have the responsibility. No matter what anyone else does for you, it's still YOUR job to put it all together and make sure it functions properly. So, I ask you, what are your dreams??? Are they being pursued or are you waiting for someone else to do something??? If you're waiting, I say GET UP!!! Get off yo rusty tail, and DO SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!! Anything to get you one step closer. We all need to be encouraged from time to time, so today, I'm your encourager; "you have my permission to believe in yourself and take a step toward the life you desire!!!!"

Now stop reading, and start STEPPING!!!!

While you're at it, step over to the right of my page and buy my CD...lol But, seriously...

SAMPLES OF THE NIOSHI JACKSON REASON CD HERE!!!!

It was brought to my attention that people who weren't FaceBook friends or fans, have no way of hearing what the CD sounds like. With that in mind, here's a sample of some of the music, so you can get a feel for what we do. Thanks again for visiting!

YOU CAN PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW!!!

Thank you all for your patience. I'm learning quite a bit as I go, so please bear with me, if there are some bumps in the road.

So, YES, you can order 2 different ways:

1. Look to the right and you'll see a "ADD TO CART" button. BEFORE you click on it, click on the shipping options to make sure you choose the right shipping method. US orders will be $15(INCLUDING shipping and handling) and International orders will be $20(INCLUDING shipping and handling). Please allow 2-3 weeks delivery for US orders and 3-4 weeks for International, although it probably won't take that long... Also, indicate if you'd like your disc autographed and to whom. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MISSPELL YOUR OWN NAME!!! I will sign whatever it says in the order.

2. The old school way!!!! Please send a check or money order to Nioshi Jackson, PO Box 2453, Suisun City, CA 94585. Same rules apply, except the delivery times will be effective the postmark date, NOT the date of check or money order.

I'm really anxious to get this music in your hands. I'm really proud of the music The Reason made and I believe you'll be impressed as well. There's over an hour of live, inspired music on this release, so please enjoy AND tell someone how much you dig it!!!
