Who is Gregory James and Valence Records?
Gregory James’ compositions are rooted in Jazz, branching into improvisation and spontaneity to create fresh sounds. His skill as a guitar player developed in the atmosphere of the San Francisco’s music hey day, where he was influenced by both bebop jazz and the rock music of the time…. then he explored jazz electronica….
The Valence Project …
The Valence Project is a journey into the expansive realm of jazz, rock and experimental electronica. Gregory brought in seasoned veteran musicians to collaborate on composing this new sound. With the talents of masterful drummer, Brain, electric bassist, Kai Eckhardt, incredible vocalist and lyricist, Melissa Reese, multi-talented rock violinist, Emily Palen, and BluCube they created astonishing effects using live sample and loop techniques. The album was produced by Cookie Marenco at her studio and recorded to 2” tape.
