JACK MACKLIN TRIO – modern jazz

Chicago-based guitarist and composer Jack Macklin is a rising star in the modern jazz music scene. Macklin’s love for the guitar began at an early age starting with the first song he learned how to play; “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osborne. This sparked a life-long pursuit for Macklin to explore and discover the impact of music on humanity.

Macklin is invested in his trio which released its debut EP entitled One that’s on all streaming services and for sale on his website. His experience working with admired musicians from many different traditions has made him an interactive, and versatile musician who is finding his distinct musical voice.

​Macklin returned to Chicago after two years of performing full-time in Nashville, TN. Macklin declared that spending his time on creative and improvised music is what he wants to accomplish. Macklin’s goal is to create a band that goes above and beyond genres to connect with the audience personally and to have a compelling experience that leaves the listener wanting more.
