Jose James: A Jazz Vocalist With The Inclinations of a Soul Singer

Photobucket

I feel in love with the music of Jose James as soon as I heard his voice. His voice carries such an amazingly warm and rich tone. Hard yet soft. Distinctively throwback yet fresh and brand new. A Gil-Scott Heron for the future. It's truly organic Soul music for the present.

I stumbled on Jose James via a video of his performance of Park Bench People with Soil and Pimp Sessions backing him. His vocal stylings, voice and performance made me an instant fan. He has since released the Desire & Love 12 inch along with his debut album "The Dreamer".

These are both Flan recommended
