Yes, you can catch a live stream of Jose James performing songs from his new record Black Magic at the Ancienne Belgique (AB) on Wednesday at 3:15PM EST. This means that you’ll need your headphones if you’re at work or a speaker jack if you work from home. The show is sold out and it’s a chance to simultaneously see how it goes down in Belgium.
Also on the AB site, you’ll find a recording of the concert Facing East : The Music of John Coltrane by José James & Jef Neve (23 September 2009) as well as a great interview where Jose speaks about John Coltrane.
