Room 3 with James Hill ( trumpet ). Room location: Richmond, CA
I have known James for thirty years now and ever since I heard him on his home recorded tapes I have been a huge fan. Over time, his style has flowered into something very special and personal. Many times his phrasing is slow and develops over the length of a piece. His smooth and polished tone does not hide the fire in his belly however. This man is Mr. Lip! Plus, once he mailed a tape in a doll’s arm.
