Press Reviews "Such perfect music for the beginning of summer, a breezy and free groovin' release from Jammin' James. If you were to grab Santana and the likes of Tom Waits, then toss in a little Dire Straits; blend them up and pour out a delicious music shake, you would have JJGB -- a release to satisfy the most insatiable aural appetite. Heaven to the ears, music for the soul, this talent has no boundaries, they have a strong sound which will stand the test of time." - From KaZaZZ! Review by Australian music journalist Melanie Vilnius /// "I will air you again... It got lots of good response!" - Don Campau, DJ on KKUP 91.5 FM, in San Francisco & Monterey Bay, California /// "Keep up the good work..." - Kevin Spitzer aka DJ SparrowHawk on KZSC 88.1 FM at the University of California Santa Cruz /// "These guys are great..." - Steve Cagle, DJ on KVMR 89.5 FM, Nevada City & Sacramento, California
