Praise for the Jaimoe's Jasssz Band studio debut 'Renaissance Man' has been unanimously positive. The Wall Street Journal hailed the album's fluid blend of classic jazz and rhythm and blues as a "laid-back delight."

As a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, Jaimoe will also receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2012 Grammys.

Read more of what critics are saying about 'Renaissance Man' here:

Wall Street Journal - "Laid-back delight... a mix of originals and diverse covers, is simultaneously urgent and laid-back, moving with verve and ease through jazz, blues, rock and even a bossa nova."

Guitar World - "A diverse, eclectic and thoroughly listenable album. Jaimoe is the band's founder and heart, and the group features a septet of swinging, in-the-pocket players, including a great three-man horn section."

The Nation - "A really fine blues band with a heavy jazz flavor."

Time Out New York - "A fine jazz stylist...steers his handsome groove vehicle."

Drum! Magazine - "Soulful, sensitive jams from one of blues-rocks top timekeepers. What's not to like?"

Goldmine - "Offers up a blend of jazz, classic rhythm and blues and soulful rock 'n' roll."

JamBands - "An act with a recorded legacy that should endure."

Tennessean - "Jaimoe has creatively stepped out on his own."
