Catch up with José James now because he’s a rarity – an artist evolving at warp speed.
-NPR Music
A jazz artist for the hip-hop generation, vocalist José James artfully blurs the lines between traditional and contemporary jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, pop and rock. He presents his newest album, 1978, which combines his deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, and Leon Ware. James has released 12 critically acclaimed albums in as many years for labels such as Brownswood, Impulse, Blue Note and his own co-founded Rainbow Blonde Records and is the recipient of both the Edison Award and L ‘Académie du Jazz Grand Prix. James has collaborated with many notable artists such as Flying Lotus, Robert Glasper, Lalah Hathaway, Ledisi, Aloe Blacc and Jason Moran.
