As James has been performing regularly with the Birdland Big Band (every Friday from 5-7 p.m.) it's only fitting you should have a direct link to one of The Jazz Corner of the World!

PJ Rasmussen and the Boardwalk Jazz Band is a 21-piece band with four vocalists, limitless enthusiasm, original music, and an abiding belief that jazz is music anybody can love. Rather than seeing jazz as a dying art form that needs to be preserved, the Boardwalk Jazz Band shows every time they take the stage that their music can get feet tapping, hearts racing, and audiences cheering.

A traditional British-style brass band and ensemble-in-residence, the PBB is a regular fixture in the Championship-level competitions at the North American Brass Band Association (NABBA) yearly festival. James has been the principal bass trombonist of the Princeton Brass Band since 2009.

Guitarist and leader of the Boardwalk Jazz Band.
