Digital Booklet

Grammy nomination - Best Jazz Vocal Album, 2015
"... delivers inspired drumming and bold song choices. As a singer, Ross can evoke deep emotion with simple phrases and graceful runs ... his voice, smoky, rich and soulful, can paint vivid pictures with few words ... his skills behind the drum set are on constant display ... his greatest gift is that he seems to genuinely love the music he’s making. Listeners are bound to do the same."
- DownBeat
This debut, Grammy nominated release from jazz drummer Jamison Ross is part of the grand prize package he was awarded as the winner of the 2012 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Drums competition. The recording is a brilliant presentation of Ross's artistry, not only showcasing his prowess as a commanding drummer, but also as a gifted composer, arranger and especially a singer, featuring his vocals on 10 of the album's 12 songs. Infused with jazz, blues and genuine soul, the album joyously filters music from multiple eras through a contemporary approach, grounded in Ross's distinct approach to music, rooted in the church but interpreted through his profound knowledge of jazz.
"When I won the Monk competition, no one there knew that I could sing. When I took on the quest to record my first record, I was torn between my heart as a drummer and my heart as a singer. Ultimately, I was compelled to take a journey that incorporated my voice as part of my sound. I am often asked whether I am a drummer who sings, or a singer that plays drums. This record is an answer to that question; it is an organic and honest expression of who I am as an artist. It’s Jamison."
