"Jackson is a superb interpreter of his own music. His dazzling Variations on 'Praise to the Lord, the Almighty' constitute a marvellously inventive tour de force." - MUSIC WEB

"It isn't just the organ of Chartres Cathedral that sounds French. So does Jackson's music, which is warmly recommended to those happy in the Messiaen and Duruflé territory. The composer-organist's ear for poised other worldly harmony and iridescent colour is beautifully evident…………" - CLASSIC FM
