New Album Release: “Dream Dance”

0 New “Single” will be released soon!
4/16/16: I’m happy to be able to let you know that I have a new “single” coming out on CD. It will be available on Amazon, CD Baby, and other internet music sites. I expect that it will be released in about two weeks, and I will post more details soon.
The song is entitled “Endless War,” and it expresses my wish that this world could be at peace instead of involved in seemingly endless conflicts. Roger Gutierrez and R J Pasternak, two of the great musicians who played on my album Summer’s Gone, also played on this song. Tracy Thomas, a wonderful singer, sang backup harmony vocals. I think that the song is one of my best efforts yet.
Here’s the cover of the CD. John Crawford, of Photocentric Studios, did a fabulous job as usual.
Last but not least, my Producer, Michael Cornett, has my profound gratitude for making me sound better than I could ever have done on my own! It really does take a TEAM to create recorded music for release to the public.

0 Jim’s Background
Jim had his first piano lesson in January, 1960 and studied classical piano with a number of teachers, including Mildred Victor, a pupil of Artur Schnabel. He also took piano lessons in the Prep Department at the Eastman School of Music, in Rochester New York and continued piano studies until about a year or so after graduating from college.
When I first heard the Beatles and the Stones I decided I needed to play electric guitar. In early 1966, I got a Silvertone electric guitar and a Silvertone amp. Bought a chord book and taught myself how to play by listening to my favorite records endlessly. Drove my parents crazy!
In 1969, I played guitar with Son House, the famous blues guitarist. He was living in Rochester, NY, at the time. Son House wanted me and my band mates to accompany him to Chicago to play the blues. My parents put a stop to that plan immediately!
From 1970-1974. I was a member of Cradle, an originals band in New England. We wrote some good songs, but we never got the big break we hoped for, so we went our separate ways. I decided to become an attorney, and I practiced law for a long time.
I never stopped making music. I played in numerous bands over the years, and I continued to play classical music on the piano. In 2013, I decided to focus on music again on a full time basis, and my album, Summer’s Gone, is the result.
