Jim Nollman (born January 1947 in Boston) is an American composer of music for theatre, a conceptual artist, and an environmental activist.
In 1973, he composed a Thanksgiving Day radio piece and recorded himself singing children's songs with three hundred turkeys.
He released several albums on Folkways Records, including Playing Music with Animals: Interspecies Communication of Jim Nollman with 300 Turkeys, 12 Wolves and 20 Orcas.
Nollman directed one of Greenpeace's first overseas projects, at Iki Island, Japan, where fishermen were slaughtering dolphins to compensate for human overfishing.
Its best-known project is a twenty-five-year study using live music to interact with wild orcas off the west coast of Canada.
