He has also been honored with two NAACP Image Award nominations for Best Jazz Album.[1] James has sold over three million albums\,[2] and has accumulated four RIAA Certified Gold Records. In 2009\, Billboard magazine named James one of the Top 3 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Artists of the Decade. According to the Boston Globe: "Let's make something perfectly clear: James is not a smooth jazz player. Yeah\, he is often grouped with people like Kenny G and Najee\, but his music is muscular and gritty\, whereas most smooth jazz has all the texture and complexity of a cue ball...James swaggered across the stage like a blacktop hero draining treys on an overmatched opponent. He even weaved his way through the audience\, never missing a beat and all but daring the crowd not to have a good time."
