YOUR COMMENTS ON Jim Burgess

As a lighting man I worked with Jim many times at !2 West and The Saint. He was an amazingly gifted dj musically. I remember one mix in particular...the Saint...7:30 am..packed room...1800 people...he actually played Jungle Fever by Chircakas on a 7" 45 rpm vinyl...then did a flawless mix into Tusk by Fleetwood Mac! and the crowd didn't even flinch!..they went nuts.
I just looked at him during that moment thinking...what the f***! He never underestimated the musical intelligence of his audience. He was fantastic.

I worked in the Underground with Jim. I just found out recently that he passed away. I'm so sorry.

Your music is one of a kind. All DJ"s have a certian style and your"s was to be flawless, a blending master. I have so many stories i would like to share with the people that remember the good old days. I have photo"s from the DJ booth in the Underground and a collection of Jim's music I'd like to donate something for all to remember a great person and a awesome DJ.

Your music will live forever with us that remember. I hope you will accept some items from me for your web site. I remember the the old times & they bring back memories that will last forever

Me and my wife will miss him. God bless you Jimmy.

I met Jim in Philadelphia in the '80's when he was at the Curtis Institute of Music. He'd introduced my girlfriend to his voice teacher and the three of us used to make the pilgrimage to New York every week. I was singing in Europe when I heard that he'd died and I pulled out a mix tape that he'd given me and I sat and remembered a good friend. Hey, wait a minute! I lent him my vacuum cleaner!
