American baritone jazz singer from NYC, New York, USA. Jose James was born on 20 January 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He is of Irish and Panamanian descent and gained recognition after being signed by DJ Gilles Peterson to his independent label Brownswood Recordings in the late 2000s.

Jose James has collaborated with various artists throughout his career. Notably, he has recorded tracks for Italian musician and producer Nicola Conte on albums "Rituals" (2008) and "Free Souls" (2014), as well as Jazzanova on their album "Of All the Things" (2008), and Goldie on his album "The Journey Man" (2017), among others.

José James, the forward-looking, genre-defying jazz singer for the hip-hop generation, has done it again. 1978, his 12th studio album and first 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&amp;B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by James and featuring an all-star ensemble, 1978 pulsates with the socially conscious feel-good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder
