Reviews
Kevin Jones - Weekend Australian, Nov 2001
"The highlights of the recent national jazz series, The Pulse, shown on ABC TV, were the world class performances of three Melbourne musicians...(one of which was) guitarist James Sherlock. Warm and relaxed, Sherlock may favour the so called traditional guitar sound, but his fertile melodic and harmonic
imagination make him a guitarist to be reckoned with.......(Southwall) is exhilarating and exciting jazz"
Leon Gettler- The Age Green Guide, Sep 2001
"Another mega-hip release from Joe Camilleri''s label. Behind the sense of release and abandon, lie meticulously crafted arrangements. Sherlock has an electrifying Bensonish fluency, he can sound lyrical and flowing....in other passages it''s all fluid heat."
Martin Leslie - Libretto, April 2001
"The James Sherlock Trio swings and how! What a gift he has! A depth of talent far beyond his years. To hear him perform is to experience everything that is sweet and good about guitar music"
Peter Jordan - Rolling Stone Magazine, July 99
"Sherlock''s highly developed rhythmic & melodic sense gives the material bite & lifts it out of the predictable"
Adrian Jackson - Rhythms, Australia May 1999
"A hard swinging guitarist, his playing overflows with energy and ideas. A thoroughly enjoyable album"
Kenny Weir - Sunday Herald Sun, Jan 1999
"Guitarist James Sherlock''s flying fingers and magnificent musicality have been turning heads in Melbourne for so long that listening to his debut album comes across as a distinctly overdue pleasure".
Drum Media - Australia, March 1999
"He articulates a thrilling & restlessly inventive jazz vision. His improvisations have a confident, glowing touch & the empathic band work is often thrilling. Hot. Very hot"
