What Band Leaders, Composers and Musicians have said about Jamie Papish:

Aside from being a trustworthy guy & the most dependable Musician I’ve yet to meet, Jamie strives at opening to new rhythms & cultures, pushing himself to a higher level of musicianship while serving the greater community. He works hard and his dedication is unmatched. On top of all that, he is a pleasure to work with and his grooves move people to joyful places.

Jamie Papish is a pleasure to work with. His commitment, hard work and good heart is in everything that he does on stage and beyond it. His versatility and long list of hand percussion instruments he brings have been one of the important elements of the Yuval Ron Ensemble musical arrangements since 2001. I love his sound on the dumbek and udu and his energetic performances in each of our shows which have presented all over the US and internationally.
