"This is what jazz sounds like in 2023," proudly claims the jazz singer for the hip-hop generation. José James' head nod take on an absolute Erykah Badu classic does not disappoint. James also takes this opportunity to introduce landmark artist Diana Dzhabbar. Rising star alto saxophonist/flautist and beat maker Dzhabbar was one of James' star students in Amsterdam during his tenure as artist in residence at the CvA.
