Jackson Miller (Brian Jones Lives)

Jackson Miller (born ​​​​​Terrence Alexander Miller ​​​​​​, 24 August 1946) is an English musician, singer-songwriter and producer, best known for his collaborative work with Brian Jones and as a primary songwriter and rhythm guitarist in Jones' blues band Brian &amp; The Robbers.

Early career (1961-70)
Miller developed his interest in music, in particuar, blues and rock and roll in his teenage years, forming his first band, The Cascaders, at the age of fifteen. Following the split of The Cascaders in 1964, Miller formed and fronted the blues rock band The Pacificas, a group heavily influenced in playing style by groups such as The Rolling Stones and The Animals. The Pacificas gathered an underground following on the London club circuit for the next few years, but failed to release any successful singles.

In 1967, the remaining members of The Pacificas changed their name to Marketplace, releasing two albums Marketplace (1967) and Lands of Sands, Lands of Leaves (1969), which since have been considered cult classic psychedelic/folk rock albums. Marketplace split in December 1969. Miller would spend the next year as a studio musician, playing both rhythm and lead guitar on several Pye Records releases.

Solo career (1980-present)
Miller was the first of the split Robbers to release solo material. His debut album, Hammer/Nail (1980), spawned the US top 30 hit "She Lied". "Pass Over" from the same album was co-written with Brian Jones.

Miller and Jones reunited once again in 1986 to write the soundtrack to the thriller movie The Mind Valley. He would also return to his work as a session musician.

In 1993, Brian & The Robbers reunited for a US tour. Miller dropped out towards the end of the tour after falling ill and was replaced by Rob Seisserman. However, Miller's appearances with the band in this period are featured in the BBC documentary Brian & The Robbers Live Once More.

The group reunited once again in 2006 at Brian Jones' induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Miller performed on stage with the inducted Jones after the ceremony.

Miller currently resides in California.
