Biography
Moving to New York City to attend The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, he was mentored by and recorded with both the legendary drummer Chico Hamilton and the pianist Junior Mance. There he also met his first ensemble that would form the studio and international touring band for his 2008 debut album “The Dreamer” (Jan 2008, Brownswood).
A chance meeting in London with international tastemaker and DJ Gilles Peterson led to a record deal on Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings label. Drawing upon diverse influences such as Freestyle Fellowship and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, “The Dreamer” was an international critical success, with José performing at venues such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Billboard Live Tokyo, The Hermitage Museum, and Central Park Summerstage. “The Dreamer” was voted #21 Critic’s Pick of JazzTimes Top 50 Jazz Albums of 2008.

No Beginning No End is out! As Gilles Peterson once said about this album, during his bbc show: "It's Jose James, with the leading rhythm section in the world" So true, you can do no wrong when such class acts as James Poyser & Pino Palladino are in your crew. To say the least, I've got high expectations

This dude has a similar timbre to Andre 3000 from Outkast, hitherto Jose James has perfected his style of his own, by rediscovering jazz/soul from the 20th century, fabricating a new, refreshing sound that undercuts all that hipster/indie shit out there!
