| | Information | James Morrison (b. 1962), known internationally as a jazz recording artist, composer and flamboyant virtuoso performer, started to play the cornet at the age of seven. His range includes all wind instruments, as well as piano and vocals. His trumpet playing has been described by an American reviewer as 'brash and athletic, with a tone as penetrating as a laser'. In 1986 he was Australian Jazz Musician of the Year.
Kerrie Lester entered this portrait of James Morrison in the 1994 Archibald Prize. |
