Welcome to JackPickett.com

Jack Pickett is a composer / producer who's music has appeared on all major terrestrial broadcasters, and last year was nominated for a BAFTA for his work on the short film "Tongue of the Hidden"; in assoication with Channel 4 and the Animate project. Most recently you will have heard Jack's music on the BBC1 primetime cookery program Masterchef - The Professionals. He has over 50 tracks placed across the Universal and Carlin library music catalogues and recently became a professional member of BASCA.

Jack has released 7 albums under various pseudonyms and was a pioneer in the developing digital field using mp3.com to distribute his music as far back as 1999 (under the moniker The Legendary Danny K ), and more recently Psychogenic . In December 2009 Jack released Reflections - a collection of his works for orchestra and chamber ensemble that has been winning critical acclaim all over the world - and looks to have bridged the gap between successful commercial classical music and the academia. Released independently through the British Academy label Academy Recordings it has won praise from many quarters including songwriting legend Albert Hammond who said:

i love what he does - there is magic there - its different which is great. Its what i want to listen to in the morning or when i feel i need a shrink - his music and arrangements make me feel like the world is a beautiful place to live in.

Included on Reflections is the accaimed Splitsound Suite - the Reflections suite - extracts from the Gothic Suite (music written for a childrens film currently in production) and The Andy Hughes Suite - written in memory of Jack's great friend and mentor Andy Hughes (formerly of the orb) who died in June 2009.
