James' solo performances combine music from the traditional classical repertoire with more contemporary fingerstyle pieces and arrangements of familiar jazz and popular tunes.  His sound combines elements of traditional classical guitarists like Christopher Parkening and Andres Segovia with the smooth jazz stylings of Earl Klugh and the exciting Latin rhythms of guitarists like Luiz Bonfa.
