A mesmerizingly mellow and silky voice that seeps into your soul as you close your eyes. This is modern jazz to celebrate the start of a new decade.
Jose James, who just released his second album "Blackmagic" on February 3rd, which pursues contemporary, modern jazz by balancing tradition and innovation, will soon perform in Tokyo and Osaka.
The live sound, different from the album's approach, is truly magic that will captivate everyone who sees it. Enjoy your Valentine's night to the fullest with his one-and-only voice and a glass of rich red wine.
