James Robinson
Colours
The Story
One listen to Bay Area native James Robinson's fanciful fingerstyling, emotionally compelling melodies and rhythmically eclectic grooves on "Colours" - which range from Latin and Brazilian to Middle Eastern, jazz and more straightforward pop - will no doubt inspire guitar fans the world over to echo Larry Carlton's sentiments upon hearing Robinson's music for the first time: "James is an extraordinary talent that deserves to be heard."
Although the acoustic guitar driven "Colours" marks Robinson's first national release, the classically trained musician has been a regional legend throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and his native San Jose for years. The magnificent "Colours" points to a brilliant, sky's the limit future for a guitarist who will be conquering the instrumental world for years to come.
