A native of Jacksonville, FL, Jamison began his study of Jazz as a high school student at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. Jamison gained worldwide acclaim as a featured musician in the Tribeca Film Festival winning documentary CHOPS; a film that followed the school’s jazz ensemble as they prepare and perform in the renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington Festival competition.
As a Jazz Studies student at Florida State University (B.S. Jazz Studies; B.M. Music Industry), Jamison was selected to participate in the Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency Program at the Kennedy Center in 2009. While there, Grammy-winning songwriter and vocalist, Carmen Lundy took notice of Jamison and asked him to join her band.
