Editorial Reviews
For All We Know the stunning collaboration between new signing Jose James (vocals) and pianist Jef Neve, will be the first new album in Impulse! records since Alice Coltrane's Translinear Light in 2004 when it is released this May. In the tradition of classic albums like Coltrane/Hartman, this amazing duet record features Jose's inimitable voice paired with Jef's tasteful, creative playing on standards like "Body and Soul" and "Lush Life".

Jef Neve is a fine young pianist I'd like to hear more of but Jose James is the star here (bold to do pure standards CD with just a panist a la Tony Bennet and Bill Evans).Jose James is called "The Hip Hop Generations Jazz Singer".Here are all standards (unlike the original material on earlier James CD's) and it really nice,He has a voice that to my ears is close to a mix between Lou Rawls and Bill Henderson just a bit lighter in tone than either.And now on his first standard CD's he does the standards standard cannon:
1. Autumn In New York 3:20
2. Embraceable You 6:15
3. Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You 5:19
4. Body And Soul 6:26
5. When I Fall In Love 5:14
6. Tenderly 7:26
7. Just Squeeze Me 4:15
8. Lush Life 7:28
9. For All We Know 5:13
Daring or predictable?I can't say.But if you "have it" why not choose the best especially when you only have the piano and voice.Excecution and not discovering second tier material that may be worthy is not the goal.Their is no attampt to prove taste in choosing lesser material.That would be a bit preachy or "teachy" and here it's just proving chops that is goal.
You like if you enjoy Johnny Hartman and Leon Thomas (this is less "70's Hip" than Thomas but in same vein more like where Andy Bey has ended up).I first heard James on and excellent Timo Lassy CD "Round Two" (I recommend both of Lassy's solo CD's and his work with U-Street All Stars and the "Five Corners Quintet" which features Mark Murphy).If you like this and especially the earlier James CD than you'd dig Dwight Tribble who has a sound VERY similar to his hero Leon Thomas but you will find tone/sound of both Dwight Tribble sensibility and sound to both be in the same great vein....
