Jose James Quotes

I’m pretty much always planning two albums ahead Picture Quote #1

[Billie Holiday] was keeping it super real, and you can feel that to this day. Everything that she sang, she believed in. So I had to pick songs that I felt the same about Picture Quote #1

If you look at the other singers of Billie Holiday’s time, they were really trying to entertain. They were trying to make people feel good. They were singing fast - and she was singing the blues Picture Quote #1

The other songs [of Billie Holiday] - Body and Soul is like the standard - I also wanted some songs that I knew I would sound good on, as a producer. It’s been the same nine songs since I debuted it back in 2012 Picture Quote #1

I also tried to focus on songs that Billie Holiday wrote, songs that she had a hand in shaping, like Strange Fruit; songs that were written for her or songs that she wrote herself, like Fine and Mellow or God Bless The Child Picture Quote #1

I actually started the whole project some years ago with a live debut at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. The focus was mainly on my favorite period of Billie Holiday, which was the late-50s Verve recordings, with essentially a small version of the Count Basie band Picture Quote #1
