Very touching. He's so real and straight forward, like his music. He keeps it simple musically - but kind of like Bonnie Raitt, another favorite, has a sound and style that's carried him through the years. They both have battled their demons and I don't know Bonnie's story but it was Michael Brecker (who as you all know worked with Joni) that helped James get clean. Michael was a powerful force in the recovery community in the NY area among musicians when he was alive. RIP Michael (jazz musicians ALWAYS mourn his passing) and congrats to James for producing another beautiful record. Honestly, as time passes, it's harder and harder for musicians to create and I applaud him for going off to be alone to find some more songs to write. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2015 #110 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendto joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
