RIP Tali "Icepack" Jackson


Keni

Recommended Posts

It’s my sad time to post this info.

An amazing musician and one of my lifelong best friends passed away in Florida yesterday.

He was a long time Cakewalk/Sonar user with many performances credits as a drummer with musicians all over the world.

 I’m too shaken right now to do this justice. Maybe the last website I built for him is still running?

Try http://www.icepackrecords.com and maybe lucky?

There is a pic of him on a page on my website at http://www.dspacer.com on the Artist page. The link on that page appears defunct. Sorry.

Forgive me for not posting better/more comprehensive info. I will do my best to post more.

We were just artwork and paperwork away from releasing his new album

Let’s see if I can post the pic here?

?

sorry for your loss friend x

Thanks pwal!

This will be more difficult to sink in for me I'm sure.

We played in bands together, built studios, and recorded music together for near 5 decades.

He was a good man!

Condolences Keni :(

Bill

Thanks Bill.

It doesn’t feel real yet. We were artwork and filing fees from releasing his new (3rd solo) album. I’ve still got all that on my brain feeling as current work in progress.

First 2 albums recorded by him with Sonar (Gibson era).

New (3rd) album recorded with CbB.

1st and 3rd mixed by me using same.

2nd album mixing happened while I was in the middle of losing my home/studio so he found help elsewhere. Came out great there too!

After spending more than 50 years of entwined life with someone...

Losing any friend is tough. Losing a long-time musical collaborator and friend must be especially hard. RIP.

Very true! Thanks Gregy!

Wow!

Mike!

Thrilled to hear from you. We've all been searching for you with no luck. Now down to Stuarto and me.

Glad to hear you're still playing. And still in California.

I'm way north in Mendocino. Let's have a pm so we can exchange contact info!
