Alice Russell will make a rare New York appearance alongside José James at this not to be missed event. Having gained an enviable reputation as one of the hottest singers in the UK right now, Alice's lavishly soulful voice is both timeless and up to the minute modern. Live or on record, she always performs with her trademark self assurance and sass. Her style is a predominantly bluesy, soul lament, but encompasses everything from funk to gospel, jazz and beyond, recalling Minnie Ripperton, Eva Cassidy, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin as well as Jill Scott.

In addition to her tremendous cover of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" feat. Nostalgia 77, Alice Russell has collaborated on tracks with the Quantic, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Kushti and Bah Samba projects, fusing Latin sounds with tinges of house, uplifting jazz and funk, laidback hip hop and soul.

Alice Russell's solo outing is a live six piece band - 'Alice Russell Live' comprising of a prime selection of talented musicians. Her music tugs at the emotions and raises hairs on the back of the neck. You really can't fake what Miss Russell's got!

Channeling the voice of Gil Scott Heron, José James brings his extraordinary, fresh voice to jazz with his debut album The Dreamer, released on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings. José performs with a natural intimacy, poise and charisma, continuing the legacy of the great jazz masters.
