José James - Merry Christmas from José James (2025) [Hi-Res]

Combining the classic jazz-crooner elegance of Frank Sinatra and Nat “King” Cole with the earthy sophistication of soul legends Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway, “Merry Christmas from José James” raises the bar for the contemporary Christmas album. Covering 10 songs - including two originals by James and his partner Talia Billig - James breathes new life into much-loved holiday classics such as The Christmas Song, White Christmas and Let it Snow. In addition to showcasing his crooner chops, the 50 Shades Darker singer explores his jazz side with a joyful rendition of John Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things.”

Accompanied by Grammy Award-winner Ben Williams (bass), Grammy nominated artists Aaron Parks (piano) and Marcus Strickland (saxophone) and rising-star Jharis Yokely (drums) “Merry Christmas from José James” is a world-class holiday experience from one of the greatest living voices in jazz.
