★★★★
“Rhapsodic, slick.. seductive.. prime Heatwave and Off the Wall-era Michael Jackson distinguished by James' buttery vocals and casual swagger.”
- AllMusic
José James - the forward-looking, genre-defying Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation - has done it again. “1978” (his 12th studio album since 2008’s “The Dreamer'') announces an instant classic, combining James’ deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by James and featuring an all-star ensemble including Grammy nominees Pedrito Martinez (Camilla Cabello, Eric Clapton), Marcus Machado (Daniel Ceasar, Pharoahe Monch), Jharis Yokley (Sleigh Bells, My Brightest Diamond) Chad Selph (Bilal, FREELANCE) and David Ginyard (Solange, Blood Orange), “1978” pulsates with the socially conscious feel-good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder. James also skillfully explores the boundaries of Black music, featuring Brazilian rising star and recent Latin Grammy nominee Xênia França as well as Congolese-Belgian rapper/filmmaker Baloji.
This concert was recorded and filmed live at the world famous Blue Note NYC on April 25th, 2024.

The atmosphere on stage is uniquely relaxed: everyone in the band is enjoying themselves, relishing the music and the vibe, and just having an amazing time... but behind this lies a great deal of professional work. There are complex rhythm patterns and the slow, honey-like quality of Jose's voice. Thank you for your creativity, thank you for your professionalism! Bravo! 👏👏👏
