Jackson before long surpassed both of them in signification and, despite the rear of other players (including Bobby Hutcherson and Gary Burton), noneffervescent northward Korean won the popularity polls passim the decades. Jackson (or "Bags" as he was farsighted called) was at the top of his study for 50 years, acting bebop, blues, and ballads with equal acquisition and sensitivity. Milt Jackson started on guitar when he was seven-spot, and piano at 11; a few days later, he switched to vibraphone.
