Matthews Theatre

Marvin Gaye’s I Want You shaped the music of a generation, blending jazz, funk, R&B, soul and disco in a way that pushed boundaries and continues to inspire artists today. Internationally renowned José James — “one of the suavest vocal improvisers on the scene” (Pitchfork) — joins forces with fellow singer Lizz Wright to reimagine the music of this provocative album in celebration of its 50th anniversary. Experience this soulful homage to one of R&B’s most influential recordings.

To bring I Want You to life on stage, José James will be joined by some of today’s most dynamic vocalists, including GRAMMY-nominated Lizz Wright, and other special guests to be announced. He has also assembled a world-class live band featuring guitarist Marcus Machado, bassist David Ginyard, and drummer Jharis Yokley.
