WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING ABOUT DANIEL JAMIESON’S DANJAM ORCHESTRA and SUDDEN APPEARANCE:
“From a radical reinvention of ‘Alone Together’ to the lushly orchestrated ‘Calming’ and the burning ‘Chance Encounter’, Liebman protege Daniel Jamieson shows great promise as an arranger-composer-bandleader on his ambitious debut.” – JazzTimes
“The state-of-the-art in big bands…” – Toronto Star
“CINEMATIC PLATTER OF THE WEEK:…this is one album that’ll be in heavy rotation on your turntable for weeks.” – Media Blackout
“…embedded in Jamieson’s work is a unique style of layering and pairing of instruments that changes the way one hears a big band.” – AllAboutJazz / JazzTimes
“With a lightly progressive edge, Jamieson leads his crew of hitters through a solid program that sounds like it came from an accomplished pro. A solid set to open jaded ears, Jamieson will easily hold court as long as he likes and this SUDDEN APPEARANCE is certainly an auspicious debut.” – Midwest Record
“The soloists that Jamieson has assembled are all ace musicians… If SUDDEN APPEARANCE is of any indication, it looks like the Orchestra and Jamieson are in it for the long haul.” – PopMatters.com
