Carmen Jackson - Bag's Groove

Carmen Jackson brings irresistible Motor City soul to her new single “Bag’s Groove,” reclaiming a jazz classic rooted deeply in her family’s legacy. First recorded in 1952 by her uncle, the legendary Milt “Bags” Jackson, the tune becomes a vibrant homecoming in Carmen’s hands. She also carries the influence of her father, respected Detroit percussionist Manley Jackson Jr., whose musicianship shaped her earliest artistic instincts. With a warm, expressive range that moves from alto mezzo to second soprano, Carmen gives the composition a fresh, contemporary shimmer while honoring its roots. A dynamic performer across Detroit’s premier stages, she delivers “Bag’s Groove” with authenticity, elegance, and unmistakable Motor City fire.
