Thanks to artists like James Van Buren, blues and jazz are alive and well. Since 1956 when James formed the ìBlues Kingsî to play the type of music that he loved listening to as a child, James has created an unforgettable style and sound.
In 1985, James formed his own label and launched his debut album ìWe Will be Together Againî. His second album, ìItís all Overî earned James national recognition with the album making the Top 20 list on NPR. His third album, ìI Ainít Doiní Too Badî took James to higher levels of recognition with the song ìThree Handed Womanî being one of Jamesí top selling songs.
Several albums have followed each as enjoyable and diverse as the last. Fans from around the world know that Jamesí music always reflects feelings from his heart and sounds from his soul.
As Phil Upchurch put it, ìJames is as original in his song as Joe Williams or Billie Holiday. The other thing I like about his style is that you can hear him smilingî.
Fans from Jamesí home state of Colorado, have adopted ìJamesí Baseball Songî as the anthem for their Colorado Rockies baseball team. Since 1996, this song has been
chorused by hundreds of fans and has been
released as a popular single.
There is no doubt that we will be enjoying a lot more music from this unique artist. He is a tireless supporter of Jazz in his community, giving generously of his time to support growth of the arts. His warm, open personality contributes to his ability to draw strong crowds, a loyal following and make new friends
