"Original Jouney" is meant to be easy listening, but also has a direction and depth. A few of Portland's great musicians decided to sit in on the sessions.
James is also an Abstract Painter. All of the music on "Original Journey" has a painting that goes directly with the composition.His use of original musical manuscript interplayed with abstract art is considered totally original and unique. A total "Arts Integration" is part of his goal, juxtaposing music manuscript in relation to space, sound and light.As many critics have commented it is "truly MusicArt." His Art has been accepted worldwide. His fans Love his genuine style and approach to Music & Art.
