Overview
Jose James blends sexy jazz with drum 'n' bass. But stay with us — this isn't Skrillex with a saxophone; it's more like Gil Scott-Heron with turntables and a time machine. James makes jazz for the electronic and hip-hop generation, fusing '70s jazz soul with modern influences, new technology, and his own smooth vocals.
Last year James made a fleeting visit to Australia to play Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Sydney's Future Now show, and this month he's returning to command the Hi-Fi. The musician will present his brand-new album, No Beginning No End, an album which has really allowed James to dust off the remains of the jazz singer tag and show him for the genre-blending spearhead that he is. If you like your jazz dirty and your DnB barely recognisable, expect only good things.
