about

“Angles of Refraction has become my favorite disc of the past couple months, standing up to repeated listenings...” “James’ playing—with its pure tone, measured melodies, and judicious use of both notes and space— reminds me of the fresh breath Chet Baker blew through bebop in the early 50s.”
-- Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader

“...dreamy atmospheric, lovely tones and stimulating solo forays played by an ensemble of young musicians who are making a name for themselves in the exciting Chicago jazz arena.”
- Brad Walseth, jazzchicago.net

“striking and compelling ...this is a winner.”
-- George Carroll, the musician’s ombudsman
