Jose James to Replace Omar at SummerStage in Marcus Garvey Park

Due to travel issues, Omar will not perform at SummerStage in Marcus Garvey Park tonight, August 14th. Jazz & hip-hop vocalist Jose James will now be performing as part of tonight's show.

American singer Jose James wields a rich baritone and blends modern jazz, with cross-generational references that dabble in traditional and contemporary jazz and soul. James performed earlier this season as part of SummerStage in Central Park as support to singer Corinne Bailey Rae.
