With his smoky voice and suave demeanor, José James has emerged as a torchbearer for the tradition pioneered by Billy Eckstine and Johnny Hartman, but he's just as convincing with the soul-jazz sound he developed on his previous side for Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. Add it up and it's clear this young artist has a line on jazz-singing's future; tonight he shares the bill with a fellow traveler, funky eclectic Taylor McFerrin.
