One of the most successful instrumental artists of our time with sales totaling over 3 million records, James' new project fuses his R\u0026amp;B\/Jazz roots with Latin rhythm and percussion. The initial inspiration for the record was Sergio Mendes, \"Batucada (\u003cem\u003eThe Beat\u003c\/em\u003e),\" which is re-imagined as a funk tune, with the aid of trumpet great Rick Braun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther special guests on the project include eclectic R\u0026amp;B soul singer Raheem DeVaughn and spoken word phenom The Floacist.
