Dallas, James
Life Forms
'Life Forms' from 1982 was James Dallas' debut album. Completely self-funded with the help and encouragement of his peers and family. This self-released album would later become a much sought-after collectable item. On the album James Dallas is joined by a top cast of musicians such as Earl Thompson on percussion, Myron McClain and Noland Clark on drums, Rick Lacey and Robert Walls Jr. on guitar, Jake Simmons and Kevin Whitehead on bass. Kevin Whitehead (who is James' cousin and known for his work with Ben Webster, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders) also wrote a track for the album. Here comes the first ever vinyl reissue of this jazz-funk-soul fusion album. Comes on 180 gram vinyl, limited to 500 copies and completed with the original artwork and OBI strip.
