Details:
Jim's musical journey began in early childhood when his mother, an accomplished pianist, taught him to harmonize with his siblings, often singing at church services and other community gatherings in Idaho Falls, ID. In his teens, Jim took up the violin in earnest, playing in a local college orchestra. While attending college in Salt Lake City, UT, he realized his childhood dream of singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. During this wonderful experience, Jim gained a greater knowledge of and deep appreciation for the great works of the composing masters. For the next 3 decades, he became well known in both the Los Angeles and Seattle, WA areas as a vocalist and choral conductor. Through the wonders of electonic pianos, keyboards and midi-synthesizers, a whole new musical world opened for Jim. In sampling the thousands of different sound combinations, new melodies and rich harmonies streamed into his consciousness. The yardstick in determining which of his compositions had merit was rather simple; Jim only recorded music that moved him to tears of JOY!

According to Jim, "Beautiful music is a way for all mankind to physically hear and experience the essence of the Divine, transcending both time and space. Through the energy, vibration and harmony of sound, we can connect to our higher self, and to one another. With music in our lives, we gain an even deeper knowing of the JOY of our own existence."
