"Classic soul funk from former Gil Scott-Heron collaborator: 'This Is Brian Jackson' (...) captures Jackson at his very best. His flute passages, soaring, flickering, melodious; his keyboard work spiritual and lyrical; his vocals smooth and heart-warming. These eight songs are both questing and healing, from the classic 'Bridges'-styled "All Talk" to the meditative "Nomad" and hypnotic Afrobeat groove of "Mami Wata"".
