The Jim Nazzstix concept is newish, the idea of the music has been taking it's natural course, as music
has always done automatically through time. It's the idea of fusing styles of music into one,
the rest just comes from the heart to the fingers generated by the influences of your musical
schooling and exposure.
I try to mix Swing/R&B/Rockabilly/Bebop/Country plus what ever else is spontaneous and that's where the
Jim Nazzstix thing comes in as Fretboard/String & Finger Jimnazzstix (so to speak) add to the equation.

Why this name?
Fretboard and Musical forms and playing with words.
Do you play live?
Yes, small venues where we can whip up a storm.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
l think it creates an even playing field for songwriters and musicians of all persuasions, creates healthy competition and keeps you more on your toes to produce something better.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, l would.
Band History:
Later......
Your influences?
I first started listening as a serious guitarist to Carlos Santana & Al Demiola then guys like Ian Moss from Cold Chisel & Dave Dobbyn
Then l discovered Brian Setzer and what he was trying to do with roots RocknRoll then l moved away to my own style and onwards from there to R&B/RocknRoll/Swing/Jazz/Rockabilly a mixture of influences.
