“Particularly powerful was the “Tuba Mirum,” showcasing bass-baritone Jason Grant and principal trombonist Kyle Covington. Grant produced such an impressively robust sound that I confess to being startled that such a big, deep voice could come from someone so trim and youthful.“ - Mozart Requiem, Jahja Ling, San Diego Symphony, San Diego News Network, October 31, 2009
“Bass-baritone Jason Grant did just that, as his two movements required. He shaped every phrase carefully, using clear diction and dramatic presentation to get at the deeper meaning. In balance with the orchestra, his softest singing had the effect of fine chamber music while he became more operatic with his full force.“ - Brahms Requiem, JoAnn Falletta and the Virginia Symphony, The Virginian-Pilot, October 12, 2009
“Bass-baritone Jason Grant, as the first soloist heard, tolled out his notes with ringing authority.“ - Beethoven 9 with Louis Langree, Houston Symphony, The Houston Chronicle, October 2, 2009
“Bass-baritone Jason Grant thundered through an entrance that maintained a vibrant resonance through the lowest register.“ - Beethoven 9 w/Carlos Kalmar, Grant Park Music Festival, Chicago Tribune, August 17, 2009
“Grant, an operatic singer from top to bottom, kicked it off with his dark voice, luminous as well as cavernous.“ - Beethoven 9 w/David Lockington and the Grand Rapids Symphony, The Grand Rapids Press, November 22, 2008
