About David Jackson

David Nicholas George Jackson (born 15 April 1947 in Stamford, Lincolnshire) nicknamed Jaxon, is a British progressive rock saxophonist, flautist, and composer. He is best known for his work with the band Van der Graaf Generator, of which he was a member for most of the 1970s and for their 2005 reunion. In September 2006, however, it was announced that VdGG would be continuing without Jackson. In a statement released in March 2007, VdGG's leader Peter Hammill stated that the reason for Jackson's departure from the band was that he "seemed to have difficulty in understanding what we had mutually agreed and that he was struggling to make the leap of faith which being in this group has always involved. This put him into conflict with us as a unit and as individuals."
