JOSE JAMES
http://josejamesmusic.com/

Born and raised in Minneapolis, José James came of age with the sounds of Prince, hip-hop and Modern jazz, singing jazz standards, originals, and the works of John Coltrane with his quartet throughout the Twin Cites. Since his 2008 debut album, "The Dreamer" he has had his share of international critical success. Released on international tastemaker DJ Giles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings label, James has performed at venues such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Billboard Live Tokyo, The Hermitage Museum, Central Park's Summerstage.  His 2010 release on Impulse! "For all We Know" put him in premier concert halls L'Olympia, De Roma, and Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola and Cotton Club Tokyo and gained him the Edison Award and L'Académie du Jazz Grand Prix for best Vocal Jazz Album of 2010.  Drawing upon diverse influences such as Freestyle Fellowship and Rahsaan Roland Kirk - James has also explored the worldwide underground working with producers Flying Lotus, Moodymann, Taylor McFerrin, and DJ Mitsu the Beats and pushing his band by covering dubstep pioneer Benga’s “Emotions”.  Quite simply, José James is one of the best voices of our generation making music.
