about

July 16, 2021:Â Jason Jamal aka Jason Garland (he/him) is a classical trombonist turned RnB singer-songwriter based out of Richmond, VA. Pulling influences from his performances with indie bands and choral groups playing up the east coast at venues from the likes of Carnegie Hall to The National, he is planning to release a number of projects in 2021 including a double single with BenÃ©t (4/15) and an EP with non-profit label Grimalkin (7/16), featuring production from longtime pal/collaborator Cam Smith (Not Kevin).

Sweet is an agglomeration of love for classic and mid 2000â€™s R&B, classical instruments, and friendship. Musicians like Anita Baker and John Legend helped to create the sound for songs Memories and 2gether, influencing the smooth yet powerful vocals and meaningful lyrics. Jason's experience as a classical musician as well as listening to bands like the Gap Band helped to inspire the soundscape and horn arrangements. The featured musicians also helped to show the distinct differences in how the horns were arranged, pulling each of their perspectives and expertise through the songs. Reggie Chapman on All the Things brought the song his experimental Jazz inflections, while Jackson Shurlds on Memories brought the smooth and lush influences of the great trumpet players of Jazz like Chet Baker and Miles Davis. Every song was only made possible through the relationships brought to me through music, so every song is in a way a love story to my friendships and relationships. This EP is nothing but love which is why it's so Sweet.Â Â

Knock Knock
by (Eli)zabeth Owens

supported by 27 fans who also own â€œSweetâ€

(Eli)zabeth Owensâ€™ Knock Knock is an incredible album. It is the conceptual continuation of their album Coming of Age (which you should also listen to), and Knock Knock is both an excellent continuation and a wonderful new album. The vocals, instrumentals, and lyrics are all excellent, and every song fits together wonderfully. Absolutely worth listening to. Thank you for releasing this wonderful album. Kamani
