Jackson's Gamble

Hornpipe · 4/4 · D major

Jackson's Gamble is a traditional hornpipe in D major with an uncertain historical origin and no verified composer attribution. The tune is typically played in 4/4 meter with the characteristic lively, bouncing rhythm and dotted phrasing standard for traditional Irish hornpipes. Because its early history and specific associations are not well documented, musicians focus on its spirited character and standard session performance style.
