Jackson Berkey (born May 24, 1942) is an American composer, pianist and singer, best known for his work with Mannheim Steamroller, which he co-founded with Chip Davis. Jackson Berkey Born~May 24, 1942 (age 81) Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, U.S. Genres~Classical, synthetic pop Occupation(s)~Composer, pianist, singer Instrument(s)~Piano Years active~1969–present Labels~American Gramophone, SDG Press Berkey earned a bachelor's degree in piano performance. At the urging of a friend, he auditioned for the Juilliard School of Music, and was accepted into their graduate program. He received a master's degree in piano performance from Juilliard in 1968 after several years of study with the accomplished Russian pianist and American pedagogue, Josef Raieff. Berkey's studies were greatly enriched during this time of study with Raieff, who himself studied with Leshetitsky (a pupil of Franz Liszt) and Artur Schnabel (whose lineage can be traced back to Beethoven). Berkey was able to pull together enough money to make his professional debut at the Town Hall in New York City in 1969, about which Allen Hughes of the New York Times had this to say: “Mr. Berkey is an accomplished performer and more often than not a persuasive one. His interpretation of the Beethoven Sonata in D major, Op. 10, No. 3 was expertly and sensitively shaped.” After this recital, Berkey had several jobs, including as a pianist on the Norman Luboff Choir tour. There he met Almeda, his future wife, and Chip Davis. Davis was experimenting with a new style of music, something he called "18th-century rock," but the piano parts he was writing were well outside of his skill as a pianist. The two became fast friends, and the music they were working on would evolve into the album Fresh Aire. They released it under the pseudonym "Mannheim Steamroller" as a play on the phrase "Mannheim roller," an ascending arpeggio named for the late 18th century Mannheim school of music. Over the next three decades, Mannheim Steamroller released over 30 different albums, including 11 albums of Christmas songs. Solo work After Berkey had moved to Omaha,he and Almeda wed. She soon became the director of choral activities at the University of Nebraska, and later, with her husband, founded Nebraska's Professional Chorale, Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum. Berkey's earliest compositions were original choral works and arrangements for Almeda's choirs, which they performed and recorded together.
