すごく誠実なインタビュー。彼がジョンコルトレーンに心酔してい­ることなど。ホセジェームスは、ボクにとってはフライングロータ­ス以来のニューヒーローの登場だね。

Love you Jose!

Gosh!!! he is beautiful...

At last! Someone I can like as much as Elling, different, but wonderful. Little Bird is outstanding. Go Jose!

wonderful singer with a wonderful voice, but the only time i've seen him love he took part in one of the worst concerts i've ever seen (specially for the price of 20€). it was with an italian band and nicola conte on guitar, dude can produce but he can't play shit of guitar... what a shame jose has to do gigs in that sort of "just for the business" environment... have to pick up this new cd, it's sounding great =)
