James Mason

James Mason is the creative genius responsible for Rhythm of Life, one of the most important and influential jazz/funk/RnB fusion albums of the last 50 years.

While musically he is known for his work with Roy Ayers' band, his solo projects, and his work with Japanese jazz fusion notables Terumasa Hino and Masabumi Kikuchi - his 1977 debut solo album Rhythm of Life album that is the remarkable story.

Named one of the "20 Essential Jazz-Fusion Records Everyone Should Own" by Discogs, Rhythm of Life has deeply influenced multiple generations of jazz, funk and RnB musicians as well as a list of prominent radio and club DJ's.

For the first time in more than 10 years, James Mason will bring a performance ensemble on the road, performing high-impact extended versions of material from his Rhythm of Life and Recollection Echo albums.
