"Jamie approaches their subjects with a childlike inquisitive mind and takes them to an energy level that the kids will respond to." -Broadway World

"An album made with love for the peewee punks! This high energy album covers a range of relatable childhood themes as well as some nods to seminal kid moments for those who grew up in the 80s." -Eat The Marshmallow

Album reviews:
"Mosaic is a collection that kids can enjoy whether or not their parents are in the room – and parents can say the same thing." -Jeff Cohen (GeekDad)
"(Mosaic) is savvy … musically gifted … but I have to add, very POSITIVE in its contributions. I absolutely LOVE, for example, “Don’t Patronize Me”. What a GREAT message! (Mosaic) is also filled with WISE and magnificent contributions. Another savvy example: “Eye of the Beholder.” But (the) whole project is that way … “I Am Not An It” … “Empathy” … etc., etc. BRAVO! Beyond doubt Grammy worthy but a whole lot more!"
-Mike Greenly , writer, lyricist
"Jumpin' Jamie's new album Mosaic is a fun journey through several musical styles and traversing through some challenging topics. Jamie handles it all with a lot of energy and really catchy songs. The energy brims on two of the opening songs "Don't Patronize Me" and "Let It Out". There is a noticeable reggae feel on "Island" which really works. The style veers towards punk rock on "They" and Jamie evokes a B-52's feel on the super-catchy "Truth Bomb". The album wraps up in style with a poignant song called "Mosaic", which features some guest stars and is a perfect song message for all times. This album is a fun ride and will be enjoyed by kids and parents alike!" - Patrick Adams, host of Kindie Rock Stars show and children's book author/musician
