Backed by an all-star ensemble including Ben Wendel, Takuya Kuroda, and BIGYUKI, he fuses jazz with punk urgency, soul warmth, and funk grit - crafting a sound that feels both retro-rooted and fiercely immediate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginals like Tokyo Daydream and Rock With You reinterpret his signature style through a tougher, streetwise lens, while covers such as Miss You and I Thought It Was You are reimagined with smoky vocals and elastic grooves. Elsewhere, Love You Inside Out pulses with rhythmic swagger, blending familiarity with bold reinvention. The sequencing moves like a late-night city crawl - unpredictable, kinetic, and deeply alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on 180g vinyl with gatefold packaging, this edition amplifies the album’s raw, analog energy, mastered at Abbey Road Studios for maximum depth. 1978: Revenge of the Dragon isn’t just a tribute to a birth year - it’s a declaration of artistic freedom, where José James proves once again that boundaries are meant to be broken, not respected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51305138192689,"sku":"850011359822","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/4412056-3335267.jpg?v=1746070350","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/jose-james-1978-revenge-of-the-dragon","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
