People often mistake jazz to be a thing of the past, from the Jazz Age of the 1920s. But more than any other form of music, it is dynamic and a work in progress. At JIC, our endeavour is to provide music-lovers a taste of one of the richest forms of music. JIC was launched with the dream of bringing together jazz musicians of different regions and age-groups and showcase new talent along with seasoned players to embody the heady spirit of jazz.With the focus of this edition’s JIC being on percussion, the circuit’s finale will host Grammy-nominated percussionist, Jamison Ross. A composer, an arranger, a vocalist and drummer, Jamison takes listeners on a musical journey that unifies his drumming abilities and vocal assets. Jamison gained worldwide acclaim as a featured musician in Tribeca Film Festival’s winning documentary CHOPS, a film that followed the school’s jazz ensemble as it prepared and performed in the renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington Festival Competition. As one of the youngest winners of the prestigious Thelonius Monk Jr International Jazz competition in 2012, he has earned a name for himself even though he has been in the professional jazz circuit for only a decade.

As the New York Times has pointed out, after Ross won the Monk competition, that the measure of a great jazz-drummer was a combination of ‘dynamic flexibility’, ‘catalytic chemistry’, ‘alertness to the moment’, and ‘mastery of form’, all of which found a place in the way the young jazz drummer presented his music to listeners.
