The combined gifts of Jamison Ross – as a composer, arranger, vocalist, and drummer – were showcased on his 2015 Concord Jazz debut Jamison, later nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Vocal Jazz Album. His sophomore disc All For One (due out 1/26/2018 on Concord Jazz) will surely solidify Ross’s reputation as one of his jazz generation’s brightest multi–talents. Among the outstanding original compo¬sitions are the gentle, blues–tinged ballad “Unspoken,” the steady–grooving “Call Me,” and “Safe in Arms of Love,” a charming bossa nova co–written with guitarist Rick Lollar. Elsewhere on All For One, the 29–year–old Ross digs deep into the musical goldmine of his New Orleans and Deep South roots. From this rich lode, he extracts such gleaming nuggets as “A Mellow Time,” written by Allen Toussaint and first recorded by Lee Dorsey; Mose Allison’s 1968 classic, “Everybody’s Cryin’ Mercy,” and the disc’s title track “All For One” – a rare groove composed (and originally cut, in late career) by Wilson Turbinton, better known as New Orleans cult hero Willie Tee. “This album is a result of a personal reve-lation that we all have the capacity to love with empathy in a deeper way,” says Jamison Ross. “The love you need comes from me and the love I need comes from you. All For One, one for all.”  Jamison Ross - drums and vocals Rick Lollar - guitar Chris Pattishall - piano Cory Irvin - Hammond B3 Organ Barry Stephenson - bass
