Gordon James has been categorized with other Jazz heavyweights such as: Chris Botti, Rick Braun & Greg Adams. Stylistically, he has been compared to: Chet Baker, Miles Davis & Chuck Mangione. Although these comparisons are quite impressive, Gordon James remains true to his craft & unique persona by weaving his own tapestry of Jazz, Latin, R&B, Blues, Funk and Soul! “My music is both funky & lyrical; the arrangements are hip & polished says James. With five smooth jazz CDs under his belt Gordon's new CD is a jazz and blues release of New Orleans inspired original music.
