Baby James E. "Sweet James" Benton

I remember my uncle use to talk about you all the time. How I found my way here was reminiscing of him, his trombone and the bus he use to drive up here every December. I remember little, but I do remember y´all talking at his house about music and humming out parts. The loud laughter was healing. I appreciate you so much! Thank you for also being a friend to my uncles and God bless your family! I can´t explain this strong feeling of victory, happiness I receive just thinking about my uncle...

When I play Jazz I think of our friend Sweet Baby James . Art Abrams ,Art Abrams Swing Machine Big Band keep a song in your heart.

He was a sweet man,always smiling,liked to talk! Always said hello to me when I was working at Fred M. You will be missed!

He was truly a wonderful person. Every time he came in it brightened my day. I cant recall a single time I saw him he wasn't smiling.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

He was one of the most important people in my life. And always will be.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God's loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76)

Dear Cathy, my heart goes out to you and the family. He and Ray Charles will make great music together in heaven. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and Prayers are with the Family and Friends his spirit will be missed. Rest Dear Friend. Art and Yvonne Abrams
