José James - The Dreamer 10th Anniversary Edition album flac

The Dreamer is the first studio album by American jazz vocalist José James. It was released on Brownswood Recordings in 2008

On the debut album from New York New School vocalist Jose James, he makes a move toward a new era of jazz vocals. While jazz elements have been making their way into underground hip-hop for years, James turns the other direction. He sings contemporary jazz with a strong sense of respect for the classics, but quietly puts hip-hop instrumentation behind his vocals, and multi-tracks himself for accentuation. James is in the midst of creating an entirely modern approach to jazz singing.

The Dreamer is a hugely impressive debut with James oozing class every time he opens his mouth. Just ask Gilles Peterson, who snapped up the singer after being handed a demo tape (a cover of John Coltrane's Equinox) at a London club night. And despite Peterson's knack for discovering jazzy acts that keep dancefloors moving, The Dreamer is not a crossover album. Stripped down and captivatingly raw, this is bonafide jazz all the way. Accompanied mostly by piano, double bass and drums (legendary bop player Junior Mance drops in for an excellent cover of Roland Kirk's blues Spirits.

Love In A Time Of Madness. Love Jose! My absolute faves are the title cut where homage is paid to Rev Dr MLK Jr the ultimate Dreamer and the cut Park Bench People where he talks about the day in the life of a homeless person. One person found this helpful.
