James Davis

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember listening to the 45's and more importantly, the albums left behind by older siblings as a 10 year old. The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Gordon Lightfoot, ELO opened my ears to more than only the pop hits on 1970's radio. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alex de Grassi, In Concert Andrés Segovia, Genius of Andres Segovia: Five Centuries of the Classical Guitar Jethro Tull, Jethro Tull - The String Quartets Andres Segovia and Alex Degrassi come from different guitar worlds, but they both influenced me in my youth to follow instrumental guitar music as my passion. Jethro Tull opened the door to music of a unique nature in a Rock/Popular realm. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.

What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I performed Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez' twice with Colorado's Valley Symphony. It was a great experience performing this beautiful and challenging piece of music.
