Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on June 23, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Anthony Jackson—the Grammy-nominated bass virtuoso who didn't just play bass, he reinvented it! Thanks for gifting musicians everywhere with your groundbreaking six-string creation. Without you, we'd still be stuck counting strings on one hand.

From grooving alongside jazz giants like Dizzy Gillespie and Chick Corea to inspiring countless artists worldwide, your musical journey continues to resonate deeply. May this birthday bring as much joy as you've brought rhythm into our lives—and may your next year be filled with even more unforgettable collaborations (and fewer jokes about how many strings are too many).
