"Catch up with José James now because he’s a rarity—an artist evolving at warp speed."
—NPR Music
"James skirts categories with ease, fitting in with current R&B innovators like Frank Ocean or Miguel . . . he holistically heals the rift between radio-friendly songcraft and virtuoso flair."
—NPR Music
Have yourself a soulful little Christmas with smooth-as-silk crooner José James, the crown prince of new jack jazz. An R&B-steeped singer who is as effective evoking Billie Holiday as Bill Withers, James returns with his first holiday project that imbues classic songs of the season with the warmth of a roaring fireplace in winter, captured on his new album, Merry Christmas from José James.
Working in collaboration with master bassist and arranger Ben Williams and surrounded by an array of brilliant players, including James Farm pianist Aaron Parks, James opted for the immediacy of sharing the same space with his collaborators like a 1950s jazz session—together in a single room without isolation. He brings all that heat and light to an evening of songs inextricably linked to the holidays.
