James Mason is the creative genius responsible for Rhythm of Life, one of the most important and influential jazz/funk/RnB fusion albums of the last 50 years.
While musically he is known for his work with Roy Ayers' band, his solo projects, and his work with Japanese jazz fusion notables Terumasa Hino and Masabumi Kikuchi – his 1977 debut solo album Rhythm of Life album that is the remarkable story.
Named one of the "20 Essential Jazz-Fusion Records Everyone Should Own” by Discogs, Rhythm of Life has deeply influenced multiple generations of jazz, funk and RnB musicians as well as a list of prominent radio and club DJ’s.
For the first time in more than 10 years, James Mason will bring a performance ensemble on the road, performing high-impact extended versions of material from his Rhythm of Life and Recollection Echo albums.

Jazz Funk
James Mason is a keyboardist / guitarist who was a part of the Roy Ayers band in the late 1970's. His only solo album "Rhythm of Life" was released in 1977 on the Chiaroscuro Records label which has become a holy-grail on the vinyl collectors market. The album featured Narada Michael Walden, Justo Almario, Mbewe Ninoska Escobar, Gene Torres and the heavenly vocals of Clarice Taylor, amongst others. The lead track from the album "Sweet Power, Your Embrace" was a massive club tune in the 1980's Rare Groove scene and the 1990's Acid Jazz scene. In 1996, AGMPpresented the first ever James Mason concerts anywhere in the world for three sold out shows in London. An unreleased single recorded just after his debut album "I Want Your Love" b/w "Night Gruv" was issued to co-incide.
