Stephen James

   "Stephen James is one of those exquisite musicians who never fails to enchant, whether on sarod, violin, or guitar. He is of a pure lineage which knows how to rearrange the very molecules of the listener. A true tantric, he can heal with sound. If you open your ears your heart is sure to follow."
Ira Cohen, Electronic multi-media shaman, N.Y.C., 1998.

A virtuoso on both sarod and violin, Stephen James has balanced the soul of both eastern and western music in his heart.

"I find him to be one of the best foreign disciples I have known."
Pandit Ravi Shankar

"The best western sarod player."
Ustad Aashish Khansahib
