Jamie Wood first recorded in 1990 and her backing band has included many of the top-drawer blues and jazz musicians of her time. Jamie’s sound has evolved over the years to include Chicago, Kansas City and West Coast blues, swing, jump and boogie-woogie. Her southern heritage and stage charisma make her a natural at blues and all its dialects. Her influences include Ella Mae Morse, Ernestine Anderson, Anita O'Day, Big Mama Thorton, Dinah Washington, Helen Humes, Julia Lee, Jimmy Rushing and Louis Jordan, to name a few.

Today Jamie and her husband, pianist Martin Gagnon (aka Nutty Brown), have created a brand new version of these vintage sounds. Their style is firmly rooted in blues, with a rhythm section reminiscent of the small swing combos of the 30's and 40's. One might say it's a marriage of blues, 40's jazz and post-war swing - with an edge.

Personnel: Jamie Wood (vocals); Martin "Nutty Brown" Gagnon (piano, vocals); Nathan James (guitar); Ed Mann (drums, congas); Ron Felton (drums tracks 6,10,12); Steve Nelson (upright bass); Mando Dorame (saxophone tracks 1,5,9); Ron Dziubla (saxophone track 7); Marc Caparone (trumpet).

While Jamie’s sound has evolved over the years to include Chicago, Kansas City and West Coast blues, today her sound is very much her own. Her style is firmly rooted in blues, with a rhythm section reminiscent of the small swing combos of the 30's and 40's. One might say it's a marriage of blues, 40's jazz and post-war swing. In collaboration with her husband, pianist Martin Gagnon, they have formed a brand new ensemble – Jamie Wood & Daddy-O.

Jamie's southern heritage, together with her stage charisma, make her a natural at blues and all its dialects. Her influences include Ella Mae Morse, Ernestine Anderson, Anita O'Day, Big Mama Thorton, Dinah Washington, Helen Humes, Julia Lee, Jimmy Rushing and Louis Jordan, just to name a few.

Jamie first recorded in 1990 and over the years her band has comprised many of the top-drawer blues and jazz musicians of her time, including Martin Gagnon, Nathan James, Carl Sonny Leyland, Tyler Pedersen, Johnny Morgan, Hal Smith, Johnny Rover, Jeff Peterson, Ron Dziubla, Bill Chruchville, Jim Klingler, Colin Perry, Costa Zafiropoulos, and Ben Caissie.
