I Can Do All Things is the premiere recording from jazz artist, composer Jeremy Warren.[1] The album features prominent performers and composers such as Andy Milne, Lenny Pickett, Leon Marin, and Jack Cooper.[2]
I Can Do All Things features Jeremy Warren's group The Rudiment and compositions written by Warren, Andy Milne, Jack Cooper and Dermel Warren (his wife).[2] The music captures mixes the jazz art form with the elements of contemporary popular music and is a personal journey of overcoming life's obstacles through music.
The album contains the many influences from Warren's musical upbringing and musical journey from Little Rock, to Memphis TN and eventually to New York City. He was born and raised in North Little Rock and heavily exposed to music growing up. His mother is an organist/pianist where she played at his grandfather's and now currently his father's church in Little Rock. In 2003, he received a full scholarship to the University of Memphis Scheidt School of Music in Memphis, TN. He earned dual bachelor's degrees in Jazz Studies and Music Education. Warren notes his greatest and most influential musical growth happened in Memphis where he performed with numerous local/national artists as well as leading his own group every Saturday night on Beale Street for two years.[2] Warren moved to New York City in 2013 and received his master's degree in Music from New York University in May 2015. Key connections through that school and the city such as Andy Milne and Lenny Pickett are heard on the "I Can Do All Things" recording.[2]
