Jim was the keyboard player in Fool's Kingdom but left us to pursue more serious music. He got his PhD in composition and musicology and was a lecturer in music for a while but left that to pursue live performance, teaching, and recording in Germany. He also spent enough time to become a shihan (Master) of the shakuhachi (Japanese flute) in the lineage of Yokoyama Katsuya-sensei and continues to make his living this way. He now resides in Japan with his wife. He is pictured here playing keyboards with Fool's Kingdom, that's Trevor's bum in the background.
