Acclaimed vocalist José James' "Yesterday I Had The Blues: The Music of Billie Holiday" is a tribute to the legendary singer in honor of Holiday’s 100th birthday. The stunning set of 9 songs written or popularized by Holiday was produced by Blue Note president Don Was and features a stellar band including pianist Jason Moran, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Eric Harland.

José James is the jazz singer from Brooklyn who doesn't want to rework the American Songbook, turn himself into a cabaret show, or scat at a million notes a minute, as if he were a saxophone. His debut album finds the gracefully soulful James supported by an acoustic jazz group. This newly remastered, The 10th Anniversary edition of the José James first album, features 4 additional tracks.

The first superstar produced by the breakbeat jungle movement, Goldie popularized drum'n'bass as a form of musical expression just as relevant for living-room contemplation as techno had become by the early '90s. "The Journey Man" is latest release for the British drum and bass artist. On this album Goldie strikes a neat balance between exploratory drum programming and his sleek soul. Also, the album features a guest appearance from José James.

Singer-songwriter José James has always been on the quest for new musical horizons; constantly evolving and blurring the lines between genres in the process. Now on the heels of his critically acclaimed Blue Note Records debut No Beginning No End, José returns with his dynamic and daring fifth album While You Were Sleeping. While keeping his trademark soulful baritone at the forefront, Jose adeptly weaves elements of indie rock, folk, funk, blues, hip hop and R&B into an experience journeying from desire to introspection and spiritual epiphany.
