“Another standout in the new-artist category was Grammy-nominated vocalist and drummer Jamison Ross. ...He enthralled the audience with a few sublimely sung standards and, without missing a beat, drummed his way through complicated rhythmic riffs. It was a marvel to watch him do both simultaneously with such agility and flair.” Lily O’Brien, Jazz Times
