Tal vez no sea intención de José James (Mineápolis, 1978) reemplazar a D'Angelo en el reinado del neo-soul que se empezó a fraguar a mediados de los años 90, pero puede que lo logre sin proponérselo. En su cuarto trabajo --y primero para Blue Note-- ha recuperado el testigo que seguía en el suelo a la ...

That's some heavy but deserving press as James' previous releases- -2010's Blackmagic and 2008's The Dreamer (both on Brownswood Records)--bear witness. With his Blue Note debut, No Beginning No End's ...

With his Blue Note debut, Jose James employs the terrifying capacity of his voice to penetrate the heart of deeper, more hidden spaces and lay bare the emotional contours of urban existence.To ...

by Bruce Lindsay
May 14, 2012

Drummer Steve Lyman makes his debut as leader with Revolver, a mini-album of original compositions clocking in at just over 27 minutes. Brevity is the soul of wit, of course, and Lyman wisely avoids the desire to throw everything he has onto his first recording. The result is a concise, sharp, collection with a laidback, meditative ...
