Winner of the 2012 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Drums competition, Jamison Ross has released his self-titled debut album. The recording is a brilliant presentation of Ross' artistry, not only showcasing his prowess as a jazz musician who commands the drums, but also as a gifted composer, arranger and more pointedly, a singer. Ross sings on ten of the disc’s 12 tracks. Infused with jazz, blues and genuine soul, the album filters music from multiple eras through a contemporary approach, refreshing material such as Muddy Waters’ 1977 classic, “Deep Down in Florida,” an homage to Grady Tate with Gary McFarland and Louis Savary’s soul-jazz classic, “Sack Full of Dreams.”
