Cali Breeze had some radio airplay on SeriusXM radio! Cali Breeze is the first track on my album "Elizabeth's Dream". Happy about that milestone and without promotion.
Merry Christmas.

I'm in the UK Wednesday and Thursday and have one CD to give away while I'm in town. Thought it would be a fun way to connect. I'll be in the Euston are near the station. Msg me if you'd like the CD behind the songs here.
Will update here.
See you soon! And best wishes.

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new here and am so thrilled to have had so many people subscribing so quickly. I hope to interact with you here and by email if you have any questions. I wanted to share a YouTube link to help get you acquainted with my recording efforts. Please check my video here: (expired link)
My recording effort culminated in the creation of Elizabeth's Dream, an album which took two and a half years to create. With my wife's encouragement to share my music with the world, this album took a bit of sweat and tears to make it to the finish line. But we made it!
You can find my music along with other fine artists at Pandora. Look for R James Radio. I appreciate your support and all the kind words from those who have contacted me.
Best wishes,
RJ

About R James
San Francisco Bay Area guitarist and composer R James brings a uniquely expressive and melodic style to the contemporary jazz scene. To quote veteran producer Paul Brown, "you have your own voice,"
R James was highly influenced in study and deep appreciation of the wide range of styles represented by Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane, Larry Carlton, Jeff Golub and Lee Ritenour.
His songwriting efforts led to winning the Bethlehem Jazz Contest in 2000, which featured the original "MontgomeryLand" also appearing on his debut album "Elizabeth's Dream". R James' composition style has been described as wide ranging and similar to artists such as Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson, Bob James, and Pat Metheny along with the harmony influences of Steely Dan.
His debut CD “Elizabeth’s Dream” produced by Paul Brown, is driven by the mature and melodic style that R James masterfully demonstrates throughout this album. His is an exciting new voice coming to contemporary jazz.
