James Sherlock Trio

James began playing classical guitar at age 7. He attended the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, studying classical guitar, and graduated in 1992. He is now based in Melbourne, Australia. James was the winner of the Ike Isaacs International Jazz Guitar Award in 1997.

As a bandleader, James has released six albums and collaborated with artists including Sheila Jordan (USA), Cyrille Aimée (FRA), Jeff “Tain” Watts (USA), John Riley (USA), Leroy Jones (USA), Martin Taylor (UK), Megan Washington (AUS), Joe Camilleri (AUS), film composer Howard Shore (USA), The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and The Australian Chamber Orchestra. As well as live performances, James has appeared on recordings alongside Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Double Bassist Ben Hanlon, Kristin Berardi, Sam Anning, Emma Gilmartin and Jake Mason. Most recently, James appears on The Jake Mason Trio’s latest release “The Modern Ark” featuring vocal giant Kurt Elling.

James has toured extensively across the world, his career taking him to over twelve different countries and headline at some of the most prestigious festivals and venues including Montreux Jazz Festival opening for George Benson and Al Jarreau, as well as clubs throughout Europe.

“A fine addition to his consistently impressive discography, The Verb Not the Noun makes the case for Sherlock as one of modern jazz's most elegant guitarists.” Ian Patterson www.allaboutjazz.com
