Zuiderpark live - Jose James
American singer José James has also been called the jazz artist for the hip-hop generation.
Billie Holiday and Bill Withers
His genre-transcending music is hard to pigeonhole: jazz is the basis, but James also makes forays into soul, funk, R&B, drum & bass and hip-hop. In doing so, he likes to highlight his sources of inspiration - he has already made tribute albums for Billie Holiday and Bill Withers, and his latest album On & On (2023) is an ode to the work of Erykah Badu.
The album '1978' due out in 2024 combines James' deep love of jazz and hip-hop with tributes to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware in both songwriting and production.
