Reviews Kevin Jones - Weekend Australian, Nov 2001 "The highlights of the recent national jazz series, The Pulse, shown on ABC TV, were the world class performances of three Melbourne musicians...(one of which was) guitarist James Sherlock. Warm and relaxed, Sherlock may favour the so called traditional guitar sound, but his fertile melodic and harmonic imagination make him a guitarist to be reckoned with.......(Southwall) is exhilarating and exciting jazz" Leon Gettler- The Age Green Guide, Sep 2001 "Another mega-hip release from Joe Camilleri's label. Behind the sense of release and abandon, lie meticulously crafted arrangements. Sherlock has an electrifying Bensonish fluency, he can sound lyrical and flowing....in other passages it's all fluid heat." Martin Leslie - Libretto, April 2001 "The James Sherlock Trio swings and how! What a gift he has! A depth of talent far beyond his years. To hear him perform is to experience everything that is sweet and good about guitar music" Peter Jordan - Rolling Stone Magazine, July 99 "Sherlock's highly developed rhythmic & melodic sense gives the material bite & lifts it out of the predictable" Adrian Jackson - Rhythms, Australia May 1999 "A hard swinging guitarist, his playing overflows with energy and ideas. A thoroughly enjoyable album" Kenny Weir - Sunday Herald Sun, Jan 1999 "Guitarist James Sherlock's flying fingers and magnificent musicality have been turning heads in Melbourne for so long that listening to his debut album comes across as a distinctly overdue pleasure". Drum Media - Australia, March 1999 "He articulates a thrilling & restlessly inventive jazz vision. His improvisations have a confident, glowing touch & the empathic band work is often thrilling. Hot.

While growing in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jon Lee listened to a variety of music. "I was the only white boy in my neighborhood, so my first records were by Run DMC, Michael Jackson, and the Beastie Boys, who were solely responsible for me being accepted by my neighborhood friends. Thank you, Beasties!" As a teenage skateboarder, Jon discovered punk rock groups like The Clash, Fugazi, and Descendents. Soon he found himself behind the microphone. "In high school some friends and I formed a band called Glass Bead Game. Since I couldn't play any instruments at the time, I sang and wrote lyrics." GBG was influenced by U2, Minor Threat, and Green Day, bands they tried to cover live, with limited success. "Glass Bead Game's first show was in my parents' basement one night while they were out of town. A ton of people showed up to hear us and, athough we sucked and only knew about four songs, I was totally hooked on the experience."Eventually Jon picked up the guitar and formed another band called Shut, playing guitar and singing lead. "In Shut I played with (former GBG drummer) Nick Varano and bassist Mike Peterson, who were very Tool/Nirvana/Primus-influenced. My tastes were not quite as heavy." After gaining some success, Shut lost Varano to the well-established ska group, Mustard Plug. The remaining Shut members briefly continued with drummer Bill Hoeks. "Ultimately, Shut was really about Nick, Mike and me. Without all three of us involved, it just wasn't the same band." The next group Jon was in was called Friends of Durrutti, named by lead singer Jeff Danielski, a close friend and band mate from Glass Bead Game. "In Friends of Durrutti I played guitar and sang a few songs, as well as background vocals." FOD also gave Jon the opportunity to play guitar alongside his younger brother, Josh. Lars Engstrom played the bass and Chris Nienhuis covered the drums. "Most of the FOD songs were written about Grand Rapids girls that Jeff and I were dating. We called them the 'Rotten-Rottens.' The songs Suckerboy and Divertido ...
