This recording weaves together a pastoral suite of flute and guitar duets. ‘A fine guitarist whose playing is reminiscent of Pat Metheny in its ringing melodies and pastoral harmonies. James is also an interesting linear improviser in straight-ahead contexts. His albums on Rogue Records tread between jazz and internationalist ‘new age’ music idioms.’ San Francisco Bay Guardian

From
turntables to tabla, this album fuses a wide range of musical influences

Urban
groove, Northern Indian, Folk, Brazilian percussion and classic
jazz, this music threads together the sounds of where the gypsies
traveled with a modern urban sound. Mixing saz and saxophone, vinyl,
violin and voice. Breathing Rumi and incanting America. Jazz without
boundaries…caught between differences. Intimate, bringing you
there. A response to now…..

Finding
the space and a new background to play into….economically.
James’ jagged phrasing contrasts with producer Kincaid Miller’s
polished compositional structure. With Miller’s keyboard, Gary
Brown’s bass and Mark Russo’s alto sax, James’ melodic
improvisation responds to and lives within a harmonious musical
whole.

Flamenco
blanca guitar and piccolo bass intertwined. Freedom to wander…
to make use of the line. Bass Frontiers’ stamp of approval:
‘open, crystallized sound’. Gregory James and Kai Eckhardt
effortlessly meet and meander, with staccato guitar and lyrical
bass, they become one.

Brazilian,
Afro-Cuban and salsa rhythms speak their tongues with Peter Michael
Escovedo and the van Wageningen brothers at the percussion helm.
Paul McCandless and Ron Miles infuse the melodies created by James’
growling frets, morphing into new shapes and outcomes. Open spaces
and full harmonic interludes.
