What the critics said:

“Unquestionably this album’s touchstone is brilliance!…” – Eric Meyers (The Weekend Australian). 

“For my money, this is the best Hammerhead album so far. Really top drawer playing from everyone plus great writing from bandleader Jason Bruer. A winner.” – Mike Nock.

“Jason Bruer’s most nuanced album to date goes to show good things can come from isolation and adversity.” _– _Jurate Sasnaitis (Dingo Jazz Journal).

“Melodies that you can hold onto, grooves that get under your skin, and an electricity that reminds you of first listening to jazz as a teenager.” – Jasmine Crittenden (musicaustralia.org.au).

“I Didn’t Get to Where I Am Today divulges the sound of a band at the top of its game.” – Des Cowley (Rhythm Magazine).

“I have been an admirer of his work and his band Hammerhead for quite some time. I can confidently say that Jason is a unique voice in our national jazz scene, an exceptional band leader, and a shining example of creativity. He is a true modern jazz master with a distinctive personal sound on the saxophone, an inventive composer, and restless performer.” – Nikolas Fotakis (Editor, AustralianJazz.net).
