Jos James - the forward-looking, genre-defying Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation - has
done it again. "1978" (his 12th studio album since 2008's "The Dreamer') announces an
instant classic, combining James' deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and
production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by
James and featuring an all-star ensemble, "1978" pulsates with the socially conscious feel-
good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder.
