new stan getz re-issue from verve, cover paintings and design by jimmie james

James Shannon (aka Jimmie James) works as a poet, painter, actor

and  singer/songwriter.  This renaissanced, outsider artist has been a

fixture in New York City's art/theater/music scene, showing at a number

of galleries (Boltax Gallery, Thomas Werner Gallery, Andrea Schwartz

Gallery), performing in works by theatrical luminaries, Richard Maxwell,

Danny Hoch, Susan Lori Parks, as well as composing for theater and film

( Seth Zvi Rosenfelds' Everythings Turning Into Beautiful, Amos Poes'

Empire II)  Whether painting/performing or composing, Jimmie James

work is accessible yet refuses containment.  He is doggedly

transdisciplinary;  part shaman, part poet, part craftsman. 

James  combines paint, fiber, word and image into tapestrial works on

canvas and paper.  His paintings have been acquired by a number of

private collectors.  James Shannon's works respond in equal parts to life

on New York City streets as well as to the journey of the human heart.
