Thus, Chance became James White (as a nod to James Brown), the Contortions became the Blacks, and his music, previously a twisted, experimental brand of avant-jazz, became a disco/funk/free jazz hybrid. As bizarre as the fusion of Albert Ayler and Giorgio Moroder might sound.
2) Canadian born James White is a professor of molecular biology at the University of Ontario and composer in his spare time and former member of "Die Roboter".
Not to be confused with the NYC no-wave/punk-funk artist James White (2) (aka James Chance).
