THE WEBSITE OF ONE JAMES N. MCKAIN

"I go down to Hell and I discover things that do not bother
other people. But be careful: Hell is rising and it's coming at
you." -- Pasolini

I am a saxophonist living in my home of Brooklyn, New York. I am interested in the notion of deconstructing inheritances of the mediums that I work in (broadly speaking: music). This is a passive activity. I am a vessel. ;) Per the old improviser act of good will, we list who our frequent collabs are. Well, here they are, in alphabetical order: T.J. Borden, Kelly Bray, Caleb Duval, Sandy Ewen, Kaelen Ghandhi, Tete Leguia, Chris LiButti, Kevin Murray, James Paul Nadien, Kevin Shea, and Tom Weeks. If, as a record collector, as you are wont to do -- you will ask me my influences -- email me about that. Address below.
