These are outstanding, professional musicians who have spent thousands of hours practicing their craft and just love playing music. Excellent cover.

We love José, too, and were so honored to have him on this year's program!

[@Jazzday]

Awesome! So pleased you are enjoying his music!

Thanks for watching, Virgil, and glad you enjoyed José's performance!

[@cooldebt]

His solo version of Strange Fruit with loop machine is one of my favourite videos. I discovered JJ through Japanese group J.A.M a few years ago and have been enjoying the rabbit hole ever since :)

This is so excellent. One question: how come Mark Whitfield who really juices this performance gets no visual credits as do others? Doesn't seem quite so lovely only in that respect. If Mark doesn't''t care then all good. I keep coming back to this as it is SO good.

[@petercallaway3376]

Mark Whitfield on guitar I see 🎸👀🎶🎤🥁🎹🎺😃🪗

[@jackthompson8377]

Great singer. The granny hairdo gets in the way.

[@simonirvine1628]

Rude boy on the mouth organ X

[@RVDL]

Who is the bass player?

[@samueljuliussahat694]

james genus

[@silviogrando1850]

Master Mark Withfield on Guitar L&G!

[@lindajohnson-vandyke8474]

I love Jose James voice and style. I don't understand the hair style choice.

[@milon5378]

Hair cut like Basquiat ! Other artist !

[@ParadiseLiving23]

great voice, but his Mama dresses him funny :)

[@cornstorm666]

Love the salt and pepper suit ❤😊

[@georgebrown4836]

No mention of the harmonica solo. He is much more talented than the dude with the guy with the egg beater hairdo!

[@marktwain5266]

What's with the hair?

[@4himsanctified]

Screw the U. N.

[@giovannigentile7211]
