- In 2009, Billboard magazine named James one of the Top 3 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Artists of the Decade. According to the Boston Globe: "Let's make something perfectly clear: James is not a smooth jazz player.
- Yeah, he is often grouped with people like Kenny G and Najee, but his music is muscular and gritty, whereas most smooth jazz has all the texture and complexity of a cue ball...James swaggered across the stage like a blacktop hero draining treys on an overmatched opponent.
- He even weaved his way through the audience, never missing a beat and all but daring the crowd not to have a good time."
