When it comes to delivering smooth jazz with hints of R&B and good old-fashioned soul, look no further than the guitar expressions of James Greene. He dishes all the above and then some on his latest release, That Cali Swag.

Born in Indiana, James Greene later relocated to the Bay Area of California. His time spent in Oakland and later Daly City is what inspired his latest release, That Cali Swag. Along with the coolness that smooth jazz presents, one can also hear that laid back but metropolitan sound on songs such as “Gonna Be Alright,” “We’ve Got a Real Love,” and “Can You Phunk.”

James Greene has been playing guitar and piano since he was 16 years old. Over the years he’s leaned more towards guitar as he’s played in local bands from Indiana to San Francisco.

While living in the Bay Area in the heart of San Francisco, he toured up and down the West coast with his band, Funk Junction, and even played backup for the group The Masterplan and Natural Four.

James currently resides in Louisiana still making music and has two upcoming new releases titled “Karla” and “Stephanie”. “Karla” was written for his sister, to bolster her spirits while she was ill, but the Lord called her home before she was able to hear it. “Stephanie” is more on a sexy smooth jazz tip, that was inspired by his wife, who it’s named after. You can look forward to hearing these new releases in Summer 2022.

His tracks are characterized by melodic hooks and funk influences and vary from smooth soul to ballads and R & B. Those interested in experiencing James’ unique sounds of smooth grooves and wants to add them to their playlists, can go to JamesGreeneGuitarist.com.
