Oh shit. He was a trip.

"James Chance, key figure in New York’s no wave music scene, dies aged 71"

#NoWave #NoNewYork

Just heard about the passing of legendary #NoNewYork scenester scronk jazz pioneer sax frontman of James White and the Blacks aka #JamesChance and the #Contortions. They laid down an angular blend odd of skittish post punk rock jazz influenced by James Brown , Miles & Coltrane. I got some decent audio / video of his 2017 West Coast farewell tour show at the Knockout in SF

Und auch wenn er jetzt das Saxophon gegen eine Engelsharfe tauschen muss - ich bin mir sicher, die Musik ist immer noch großartig! https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jun/19/james-chance-new-york-no-wave-dies-singer-saxophonist
