about

“The Verb not the Noun” is James’ first trio recording since “Domestic Arts” in 2010 and the first to feature an all original program since “Watermark” in 2006.
Joining James on this recording is the combined artistry and experience of Sam Anning on bass and Danny Fischer on drums, James plays archtop guitar and nylon string as the group explore the textural, rhythmic, harmonic and melodic possibilities of the guitar trio.
Recorded at Headgap studios, engineered by Rohan Sforcina and mixed and mastered by Dave Darlington.

“a marriage of wonderful articulation and a feel for playing just the right note at the right time” Ian Patterson www.allaboutjazz.com

“A fine addition to his consistently impressive discography, The Verb Not the Noun makes the case for Sherlock as one of modern jazz's most elegant guitarists.” Ian Patterson www.allaboutjazz.com

Thanks to Sam and Danny for their above and beyond musical excellence and friendship!
Jeff Raglus for the painting and Vicki for the surf lunches.
Sam Lemann for loan of his beautiful amp and to my other extended guitar family members (Bruce, Fran, Craig, Stephen and Doug) for all the chats.
The Bens (Hanlon and Robertson) for BenSamBen, and all the other players I’ve made play this music over the years.
My parents Les and Gay for actually making it happen.
Lily and Jasper for growing into top notch humans.
And to Ineke for being my buddy.
