I'm already an Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper fan and look forward to their albums coming out. I wasn't familiar with Jose James and I'm gonna check him out. I am a fan of Jazz so it's nice to see threads like these.

That first song is real tight. I might have to check out some of these new cats. I like jazz, but on the real I've never really bought any jazz cds. I usually don't like single artists enough to do that. I just listen jazz stations on pandora and other internet radio stations.

Jose James is worth your money, but adding Glasper and Spralding is a nice little collection because it can be played because of the soul and hip-hop feel to it.
