JOSÉ JAMES QUARTET
TUESDAY JULY 8
XXODUS CAFÉ | 5PM
Rising star José James is defining a new direction in contemporary music, combining urban Blues, Hip Hop, Soul, Drum & Bass, and straight-ahead Jazz to produce a sound that is fresh as tomorrow yet deeply rooted in the tradition of the classic American idiom. With tracks in constant rotation on BBC Radio 1 and Gilles Peterson Worldwide and with a recent feature in Straight, No Chaser, José James album "The Dreamer" is being heralded as one of the most promising Jazz records of 2008.
