History
In the mid-1960s, Jackman was the keyboard player in The Selfs with Squire and drummer Martyn Adelman. The Selfs then amalgamated with another north London band, The Syn, led by Steve Nardelli. Nardelli and Jackman became the main songwriters for The Syn.
Following the demise of The Syn, Nardelli and Jackman continued to work together for a period. Jackman went on to concentrate on doing orchestral and other arrangements for various bands, including Peter Skellern, Rush (Power Windows) and Barclay James Harvest (string arrangement for "Guitar Blues").
He hooked up again with Squire, providing arrangements and organ on Fish Out of Water and then working with Yes, providing an orchestral arrangement for the Squire-penned "Onward" on Tormato. He also worked with Yes guitarist Steve Howe on several occasions.

Andrew's son, Henry, also plays keyboards. He played live with Chris Squire in August 2006.
