Nicknamed the white James Brown, James Chance is the spirit of no wave music style which took over New York artistic and hype of the eighties. Renamed James White for some funk productions, the "sax maniac" shakes in 1977 the punk scene of that period to transfigure the ambiguous charm of crooners and the initial rage of the rhythm’n’ blues.
Distancing himself from the musical codes, this saxophonist and iconoclast singer is quickly pointed out and put in honour by Brian Eno at the end of his numerous musical and stage prowess with his famous Contortions. At the head of numerous bands, with Lydia Lunch and their Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, The Blacks, or one other plan which notably counts in his ropes the gifted Flea from Red Hot Chile Peppers, we remind several discs and a handle of emblematic pieces, whom famous funky Contort Yourself , Sex And Drugs And Rock' not roll of Ian Dury from the other side of Atlantic.
With this new project, James reappropriates with elegance the origins of blues and jazz from the 40’s and 50’s, between Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Jac Berrocal, Archie Shepp, or even Chet Baker. Never really far from the early rock’n’roll and therefore from the rhythm’n’blues and soul, James Chance’s music of 2010 is hypnotic, decadent and distinguished, rhyming for our pleasure with glamour, sex, humour and daily transcendence.
