Here's the buzz on Gordon James from the press, internet and radio….
"There are not too many smooth jazz trumpeters in this industry. Rick
Braun and Chris Botti are having superb success within the market.
Well guys, make room for one more: Gordon James is a break from the
pack by combining the musical worlds of Soul, Acid Jazz, Hip Hop,
Latin, Pop and Jazz. Gordon James talent should be discovered by the
world."
Fred Scott - Contemporary Jazz.com
"James blows a mean trumpet and is highly recommended. One of his
strengths is knowing which songs to cover."
Brian Soergel - SmoothVibes.com
"It's a wild ride from beginning to end, and the high energy Gordon
brings to his phrasing pulls it all together."
Jazzman Online
"Trumpeter Gordon James has a mellow sound that, when muted is reminiscent
of Miles Davis in the late 1980's. James has created a set of jazz-influenced
music that is accessible, contemporary and not without its unpredictable
moments. It's a colorful set that crosses many musical boundaries
and should appeal to a wide audience."
Scott Yanow from the Jazz Heritage Review
"James knows how to whip his band into exotic colors and stirs up
some highly amiable cool craziness."
