The long awaited stirring appearance of Britain’s favorite idol James Morrison will be on the night of Friday 19 February 2010 at the Skywards Dubai International Jazz Festival, which is to kick off on Wednesday February 10th, 2010 at Dubai Media City.
Best described as the British Stevie Wonder, Morrison’s music incorporates a variety of elements from the soul music maters such as Ray Charles, Bob Seger, Rod Stewart, and Joe Cocker. The chart topper and the preferred of today’s Europe music scene accessed a global sales record of more than 2 million for his “Undiscovered”, which became one of the top 10 best selling albums of the year in the UK classifying James as one of the leading pop singers and securing him the Brit Award for Best British Male Solo Artist that he received in February 2007.
