Album Notes

These September Days represents three years of fun, adventure, love and hard work with some of the finest musicians to be found anywhere. Jim Brumm’s first CD release, after 35 years of playing and writing has been worth the wait.

Recorded at Wine Country Music Studios in Napa, California, it has a sound that covers a wide musical spectrum, from folk to jazz, blues to cajun, swing and more. Some songs lift you up immediately and carry you along, others will grow on you more slowly, giving you the time to savor them. Some will have you smiling right away, some will leave you thoughtful, perhaps wistful. Whatever your musical tastes, These September Days has something for everybody.

Also, if you love good lyrics, this is your album. The lyrics on These September Days are as much a part of the fabric of each track as the musicianship.

Violins, saxophones, accordions, ripping lead guitars and soft cellos all have their moment to shine here. Some songs are funny (“Just a big cockroach” is not to be missed!), some are thoughtful and introspective. The title track, with its haunting guitar and beautiful violin and cello accompaniment has been described as the perfect song for anyone facing change in their life, and "Alice (The grandma song)” should reach anyone who has ever had a wise and loving old woman touch their heart.

With amazing back-up vocals and harmonies by Theresa Stoops, Lynda Amen-Otis and Darlene Gardner, along with the talents of Northern California jazz legend Philip Grady Smith, Ylonda Nichols (who now plays her saxophone with Les Brown and his Band of Renown), Peggy Brady, first-chair violinist with the Napa Valley Symphony and Leigh Wyckoff, founder of Wine Country Music and guitarist extraordinaire, and many others, this is one CD that will stay in your player for a long time.

Your Soundtracks Of Life

September Day's is one of those cornerstone albums that lightly steps into all facets of music and spans closed the gaps between all generations and styles to become the perfect conerstone needed in every good music collection. It's one of those albums that will make you laugh, look at yourself and how you see others and most importantly, it reminds us to listen and enjoy life as it happens even if we are just a Big Cockroach faking it thru life.

Jim's Gem

Jim's Gem I played Jim's cd over and over, until I just about ran down the batteries at the ranch. Sometimes heart, soul and talent come together. This is the kind of elevating music and song that we don't get nearly enough of anymore. His lyrics are poetic, often profound, The tunes are kind of sweet 'n sour, sometimes bouncy and catchy, always a perfect complement to the artistry of the words. It's no surprise to me that this recording comes out so stunningly successful. This is the kind of music that makes people feel good.

This one is already a favorite of mine.

I love the lyrics—rich and real, down-to-earth and honest. With a lot of humor worked in. Great for sing-along too. The music is outstanding and the lyrics linger in your head long after the CD is finished playing. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Talk, Laugh, Dream, but it's a tough call.
