Early reviews of James Weidman's new recording SPIRITUAL IMRESSIONS:

“No one expects songs such as "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel," "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and "You Hear the Lamb A Cryin'" to swing as hard as they do here, which is what makes this recording so thrilling and alive. You start to see the musical beauty of each tune, the richness of the melodies and the emotional investment of all these performers.” Marc Phillips, The Vinyl Anachronist

“Weidman offers solid ideas on how to make old traditional material contemporary. Ruth Naomi Floyd whose rich vocals help breath new air into old music. Floyd is one of Philadelphia's gems. A fresh jazz interpretation.” Robert Rusch, Cadence Magazine

“Weidman and his ensemble pay tribute to a difficult time in American history on "Spiritual Impressions." The group makes the songs sound contemporary without forgetting about their original purpose.” Dodie Gould Miller, Lemonwire
