James was born in Brooklyn, New York and moved to Seoul, South Korea for a few years with his family when he was 10 years old. Eventually, his interest in film and music motivated him to explore Japan. Through living in Japan, he found out about jazz cafes (jazz kissa), and decided to launch TokyoJazzSite.com, an English-language resource that shares details about jazz and listening bars all around Tokyo. James hosted a long-running radio show for a few years, and then shifted to podcast format (he shares music and discusses music history).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get the transcript for this talk by supporting Nonnative Creative on Patreon!
