Following on from the podcasts provided below, here's an interview Jose James, a fresh recruit to Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. Playing full length tracks of his debut album, James' sound is soulful, sultry and classic all at once. With a voice that sways halfway between Bill Withers and Nina Simone and references to jazz greats such as John Coltrane and Miles Davis standing firmly forward in his music - this is a great jazz album.

If you're looking for something to take along on your long country drives or a something smooth to help the bubbly go down on a special night - this is the album you've been looking for. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere to purchase a digital copy, but don't worry - I'll keep an eye out for it and let you know the second I find it. For now though - enjoy the podcast.
