Indian Summer/Ross
Jackson formed his first professional rock group in 1969, called Indian Summer. The group released the album Indian Summer in 1971, and then disbanded the following year. Jackson joined John Entwistle's new band "Rigor Mortis" in 1972 and played on their debut tour. Jackson and bandmate Alan Ross decided to put together their own group in 1973, calling themselves "Ross". They released two albums on RSO Records; Ross in 1973, and The Pit and the Pendulum in 1974. This hard rock group failed to capture an audience and disbanded after the release of its second album.

Famous quotes containing the words indian, summer and/or ross:
“This Indian camp was a slight, patched-up affair, which had stood there several weeks, built shed-fashion, open to the fire on the west.... Altogether it was about as savage a sight as was ever witnessed, and I was carried back at once three hundred years.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld;
And in the midst of spoils and slaves, we thieves
And pirates of the universe, shut out
Daily to a more thin and outward rind,
Turn pale and starve. Therefore, to our sick eyes,
The stunted trees look sick, the summer short,
Clouds shade the sun, which will not tan our hay,
And nothing thrives to reach its natural term;”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one.”
—H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)
