Samuel P. Jackson
Samuel P. Jackson (February 5, 1818 in Manchester, England – July 27, 1885 in Brooklyn, New York, United States[1]) was an American organist and composer. His father, James Jackson, was an organ builder; his family immigrated to the United States in 1825, where Samuel learned his father's trade.[1] Jackson's music teachers were Moran (piano) and Thornton (harmonium).[1] From 1830—42 he played the organ at St. Clement's Church; at St. Bartholomew from 1842–61; later at Christ Church, Church of the Ascension, and the Anthon Memorial Church.[1] He was a well-known teacher of piano, organ, and harmonium.[1] For many years he was music-proof reader to G. Schirmer, New York.[1] Besides a variety of vocal sacred music, he published Gems for the Organ and four books of very popular Organ-Voluntaries.[1]
