José James

José James, glas / vocals

Gideon Van Gelder, klavir / piano

Richard Spaven, bobni / drums

Glenn Gaddum, bas / bass

Pevec z irskimi in panamskimi koreninami, ki povezuje soul, hiphop in jazz, je na glasbeno sceno stopil šele lani, a je kmalu prepričal slovitega didžeja in producenta Gillesa Petersona. Ta ga je povabil k svoji založbi Brownswood Recordings, pri kateri je nato izšel hvaljeni Jamesov prvenec The Dreamer. Jamesa odlikuje topel, žametni baritonski glas, občutek za dober »groove« in spoštljiv odnos do zgodovine. K nam prihaja s svežim, spomladi izdanim drugim albumom Made For Love.

Of Irish and Panamanian descent, James blends soul, hip hop and jazz.

Even though his music career was launched only last year, the singer soon caught the eye of celebrated deejay and producer Gilles Peterson, whose Brownswood Recordings released James’ much lauded debut, The Dreamer. Possessing a warm and mellow baritone, he has a special flair for the “groove” and shows deferential regard for history. In Ljubljana, he will perform his recently (spring 2009) released second album, Made For Love.
