Jos� James - the forward-looking, genre-defying Jazz singer for the hip-hop generation - has done it again. �1978� (his 12th studio album since 2008�s �The Dreamer'') announces an instant classic, combining James� deep love of jazz and hip-hop with songwriting and production nods to R&B heroes Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson and Leon Ware. Produced by James and featuring an all-star ensemble, �1978� pulsates with the socially conscious feel-good vibes of Marvin Gaye, Prince and Stevie Wonder.
