James Chance was the noted saxophone player, composer, and singer in the No Wave, Funk, and Jazz idioms. His bands The Contortions, James White and the Blacks, The Flaming Demonics, and Terminal City were groundbreaking fusions of funk, punk, and jazz. My name is David Siegfried, brother to James, and I can attest these items to be true and authentic. James was an avid reader and read this book, possibly multiple times. This is an opportunity to have your own keepsake from James's personal collection. If you are interested in other items owned by James, please see my other listings.
