"Straight ahead jazz guitar with a bluesy feel" "very good jazz guitar" Cadence Magazine
Bio / Background
Texas Guitarist Jim Shannon has gained the attention of the music community through his mastery of the Guitar and his reflective approach to music. The review of Silent Voices in Cadence Magazine (a prestigious international Jazz CD review magazine) is quoted; "Intense and melodic" Bright and free wheeling and full of the blusey accents that can't help but bring a smile to your face" "A fun bent note swagger in his playing" "This is more very good jazz guitar"
Jim attended the University of North Texas, and was a member of the renowned 1:00 Lab Band under Leon Breeden. His work in jazz clubs paid his way through college and was a major factor in his musical development. Finding himself in such a fertile musical environment he was forced to learn fast and to this extent was largely self taught by experience and surroundings.
While working a seven year stint at the Club Flamingo in Ft.
↓ more ↓Worth, Texas he was introduced to and/or played with such notable players as Red Garland, Hank Crawford, Julius Hemphill, Marchel Ivory, Mack Goldsbury, James Clay, Flo Green, Bob Stewart and Ornett Coleman.

Jim has performed with Hank Crawford, Jimmy Smith, Billy Hart, Ed Soph, David "Fathead" Newman, Lee Konitz, The Les Elgart Orchestra and Mack Goldsbury, among others. Shannon has given concerts and clinics at the University of North Texas, Weatherford College, El Centro College, Brookhaven College, San Angelo Jazz Festival, Oklahoma Charlie Christian Jazz Festival as well as other colleges and schools.
