"Jackson's Reel 1", also known as "Jackson's Favourite", "Jackson's No. 1",<br> "Johnson's Reel" is an Irish reel in E Dorian. The parts are played AAB (Taylor) or<br> AABB' (Brody, Mulvihill).<br> David Taylor (1992) suggests this tune also may have been composed by the 18th century<br> Uilleann piper Walter "Piper" Jackson, however, there have been many tunes with the name<br> Jackson in the title that have been rather routinely attributed to the historical piper,<br> with little or no evidence. The tune was popularized by County Sligo/New York fiddler<br> Michael Coleman, who recorded it as the first tune in his medley "Jackson's Reels".<br> Some sources consider this to be a version of "Ships Are Sailing"<br> It was printed in Breathnach's Ceol Rince na hÉireann 1 (1965),<br> Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983),<br> Mulvihill's 1st Collection (1986) and<br> Taylor's Crossroads Dance (1992).<br> It was recorded by Brian Conway on Consider the Source (2008),<br> Jean Carignan on Jean Carignan (first tune of "Jackson's Medley"),<br> Michael Coleman on The Legacy of Michael Coleman (first tune of "Jackson's Medley"<br> first recorded in 1925 for Columbia),<br> Kathleen Collins on Kathleen Collins (2008) and<br> Shaskeen on The Mouse Behind the Dresser (1990).<br>
