No Beginning No End

Description

Following three critically acclaimed albums for the Brownswood and Verve labels, Jose James makes his Blue Note debut No Beginning No End sums up how I feel about music right now, says José James. I dont want to be confined to any particular style. Once I realized that jazz singing is just something that I do and its just a label, it freed me as an artist to just write without any boundaries. No Beginning No End is a seamless musical experience that moves between different styles with remarkable fluidity, bound together by James astonishing voice. Conceived, recorded and produced independently without any recording contract, the album is his most personal statement yet. With collaborators that include Robert Glasper; R&B singer/songwriter/guitarist Emily King and the 2011 Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition winner Kris Bowers.
