James Forman (January 3, 1946 – January 9, 2022), known professionally as Mtume or James Mtume, was an American jazz and R&B musician, songwriter, record producer, activist, and radio personality. He came to prominence as a jazz musician, working with Miles Davis between 1971 and 1975.
For me, the most interesting parts of Mtume's career were his contributions to the more-marginal-than-Miles black music of the early 1970's. The Mtume Umoja Ensemble album Alkebu-Lan Land of the Blacks - Live at the East is one of the most intriguing albums in the Strata-East catalogue.
