RIP. We'd natter about stupid shit and discuss music and ethics and just have a smoke together and moan about stuff. I'll miss this free-spirited legendary guy.
Not just Peter & the Wolf - went to a gig of his - he saw us in the audience and slipped every classical violin concerto there is into his improvisation! A kind man you were, Jim! Shocked to hear you're not with us any more!
I had the pleasure of playing with James and sharing swing violin tricks with each other a few years ago. James had a cool trick of quoting the Peter and the Wolf theme in any tune. I started doing it, and think of him whenever I do, and mention him to anyone who remarks on it. So, your memory and your playful, sweet approach to fiddling live on, James.
Nice one guys!
