One of the more intriguing aspects of bassist Anthony Jackson's career – which includes the design and development of the 6-string contrabass guitar, and appearances on seminal jazz and fusion albums – is the high level of artistry and creativity he has been able to achieve on pop recordings.
Nowhere is this more evident than on his three consecutive Warner Bros albums with Chaka Khan. Of the three – Chaka, Naughty, and What Cha' Gonna Do For Me? – Naughty stands as Jackson's favorite, and a testament to an era of craftsmanship and indulgence long gone from the record business.
