Jim Fox

Jim Fox is an American composer, and also founder and director of the recording label Cold Blue. His compositions, often for small and unusual instrumentations (e.g., The City the Wind Swept Away is scored for piano, solo strings, two trombones and two bass trombones), are slow and sensuous, creating tension and interest through unpredictable change within a generally repetitive idiom. In the 1970s Fox taught electronics at the University of Redlands. As director of Cold Blue he has defined for the label a California aesthetic of lush, gradually unfolding postminimalism.
