Artist Portrait

James Chance

p, *1953 US, Milwaukee
Singer / Musician / Songwriter of Rock and Jazz
A.k.a. James Siegfried James White (2)

Saxophonist born April 20, 1953 in Milwaukee, USA. Arriving from Milwaukee with a saxophone on his knee, James (Siegfried) Chance/White quickly became the linchpin of the budding New-York No Wave movement. More than any of his contemporaries, Chance turned harsh, abrasive music into an art form; at one time or another, almost everyone of any importance on the New York art-rock scene was in his band.
