Jose James – Warrior / Quadron – Day / more / and Live @ Zanzibar TONIGHT!

jose-james-07

we’ve said it once and we’ll say it again… Jose James Blackmagic LP is KILLER! dude blends soul, hip-hop and jazz ALL proper. having worked with Gilles Peterson, Bassment Jaxx, and Flying Lotus to name a few, he’s definitely flying high on the b3sci radar..

if you’re around, Jose performs tonight at Zanzibar in Santa Monica, with bonus dj sets from Quadron (with live vocals), and KCRW’s Anthony Valdez. so to make it official, the b3sci ‘fuck yeah’ meter has reached sensory overload!!
