Pete Jacobsen (16 May 1950 – May 29, 2002), who was often traced to Peter Jacobsen, was a British jazz pianist who appeared on albums such as Jubilation (1978), Dreams Are Free (1979), and Birds of Brazil (1989).
He has worked with Tim Whitehead, Carmina, Barbara Thompson, Bobby Wellins, Don Weller, Dick Morrissey, Jim Mullen, and Chris Biscoe.
Early life and education
He was born Peter Paul George Jacobsen in Newcastle on Tyne.
He lost his sight as a child due to an Optic nerve's proliferation, and then formed his own trio, which was good enough to attract local television coverage. He went to London in 1969 to study at the Royal Academy of Music. Jacobsen's lack of sight was no obstacle with his keen memory and flawless pitch (Absolute pitch).
Career
Jacobsen began to perform with saxophonists Barbara Thompson, Isotope's Gary Boyle, and Don Weller in London. He joined Morrissey-Mullen in 1985 and 1988, but it wasn't until the 1980s that he began recording with them--This Must Be The Place was released in 1985 and Happy Hour in 1988. With the Bobby Wellins Quartet, Trumpeter Kenny Wheeler suggested Jacobsen for the piano chair. Jacobsen will appear on four of Wellins' albums: Live... Jubilation (1978), Dreams Are Free (1979), ERCO Makes Light (1983), Birds of Brazil (1989).
Chris Biscoe, one of Jacobsen's most regular collaborators, appeared on the 1986 album The Chris Biscoe Sextet and Modern Alarms (1990). Jacobsen and Biscoe would often appear as a duet and appeared on numerous BBC Jazz Club performances. As Jacobsen passed away, he and Biscoe were planning to form a band featuring Lee Konitz' songs.
He performed with American trombonist Jimmy Knepper, recording the 1980 album Primrose Path with Knepper, Dave Green, and drummer Ron Parry. Jacobsen wrote "Song for Keith" for this album. Larry Coryell, Steve Clarke, Jack Bruce, Chris Laurence, Laurence Cottle, Wolfgang Schmid, and Ted Emmett will all write "Black Book" for the album Highly Committed Media Players, which he recorded in 2000 with Larry Coryell, Steve Clarke, Michael Laurence, Laurence Cottle, Wolfgang Schmid, and Ted Emmett.
During this period, Jacobsen, drummer Dave Barry, and bassist Mick Hutton were among the Cambridge Modern Jazz Club's resident rhythm section. Jacobsen released the album Eleven Years From Yesterday in 1988 with the Ugandan jazz violinist Philipp Wachsmann, percussionist Trevor Taylor, Brazil's bassist and cellist Marcio Mattos, and guitarist Ian Brighton.
Jacobsen performed with the saxophonists Robin Kenyatta, Alan Skidmore, Peter King, bassists Eberhard Weber, and Paul Carmichael, as well as with percussionist Chris Fletcher. He gave memorable solo recitals at Sherborne Abbey Festival and the Brighton Jazz Club, where he was a regular performer. He performed with the Celtic-jazz band Cármina and appeared on three of their albums: Between the Sun and the Moon (1993), Weather in the Heart (1995), and Love Like Angels (2000).
Jacobsen's only solo album Ever Onward debuted in 1994. The Peter Jacobsen Trio formed in 2001 with drummer Nic France and bassist Simon Woolf; the band's first album, On Your Marks (2001), was recorded at the Peterborough Jazz Club.
Jacobsen performed with Tim Whitehead's quartet and trio through the 1990s; he appeared on two of Whitehead's albums Authentic (1991) and Silence Between Waves (1994). It was Whitehead who wrote that Jacobsen spent a considerable portion of his time in London's East End, playing with unknown and/or struggling musicians, and, as a result, never received the press attention he deserved.
