Here’s what others are saying about Laurie
“Dameron’s playing is a nice blend of old school Jazz Guitar, Rock n’ Roll double
stops and swing blues. Her Guitar tone is crisp and smooth, giving her just enough
bite for when she does her Bluesy Jazz thang…”
—Lyle Robinson, Jazz Guitar Life Magazine
“I Can’t Wait to See You Again. Mellow out with the third album from this talented
Boulder-based jazz singer and guitarist, who celebrates the disc’s release with a
concert Wednesday at Dazzle Restaurant and Lounge in Denver. Whether playing
originals, classic blues tunes, jazz standards or Brazilian favorites, Dameron keeps
things tasty and understated. She’s got talent to spare but resists the urge to show
off.
— Greg Glasgow, Boulder Daily Camera
“Dameron has come up with a perfect Sunday-morning CD, highlighted by a
delicate reading of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “How Insensitive (Insensatez),” a
winking take on Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Misbehavin’” and the CD’s lone original, “I Cant’
Wait to See You Again.” Dameron’s playing is tasteful, and her arrangements are
honest and simple, uncluttered by showy studio trickery. Pop this in and float your
way through brunch.”
—Jerry L. Wheeler, OUTFRONT Magazine
“This (I Can’t Wait to See You Again) is not your average local jazz CD. This is a
sophisticated release filled with near-flawless jazz guitar work and vocals that pay
homage to jazz legends.”
—Brian F. Johnson, Publisher/Editor-in-chief of Marquee Music, Inc.

“Based in Colorado, Dameron has an echoey acoustic sound on her guitar that is
slightly reminiscent of Pat Metheny at times. Her music is soothing, danceable (but
with subtle rhythms) and pleasing.”
—Scott Yanow, Los Angeles Jazz Scene
“Guitarist/Vocalist Laurie Dameron’s latest CD, I Can’t Wait to See You Again, is a
musical journey through the Great American Songbook. Backed by some of
Colorado’s top notch musicians, Laurie makes the trip down memory lane worth
revisiting time and time again.”
—Susan Gatschet Reese, Assistant Program Director jazz89 KUVO
The 2008 release, I Can’t Wait To See You Again, by local jazz
guitarist/vocalist Laurie Dameron captures the true essence of a bygone era. The
torch singers in smoky lounges everywhere had a relaxed, gentle conversation with
the audience and Ms. Dameron has unleashed the past with this disc. The title cut
is a classic jazz vocal track, written by Dameron; questioning love lost, but with
optimism. ‘But when it comes to romance, I’ve never been understood.’ It feels
like candles are lit, the table set, waiting for someone to sit down.
— Mark L. Altobelli www.rockoncolorado.com
“Dameron is personable and enthusiastic, especially with music, much like “Looking
Through the Blue” The CD is warm and energetic, offering jazz in the form of her
guitar and a few hired guns on flute, sax, drums and bass…”— Ed Montesano,
Boulder Planet

Dexter Payne, musician (sax, clarinet, flute)

but your own sound”.
