James Sudakow

James Sudakow is a third generation classically trained violinist and started playing at the age of four. Despite the classical upbringing, he has always gravitated to rock, fusion, jazz, and progressive music. During his early twenties, he was invited to play in a band and hooked up electrically for the first time. That completely opened up an entirely new view he had of his instrument. After years of honing his own style, he released his debut all instrumental rock/fusion/progressive CD--Green, which received acclaim particularly in the progressive rock and fusion community. He has just released the follow up CD--There is no Sound in Space--which has an industrial electronica undertone but still has elements of fusion, rock, and improvisation.
