Bob James


I haven’t listened to Bob James since 1980.

He has a new album out with his trio called ‘Rocketman’.

It is encoded in a great high resolution format.

Check it out on your subscription streaming platform.

Bob James was part of so many projects since 80s that you would really listen to at least some of those whether you wanted or not or whether you knew about those or not.

His solo career is just a small part 

czarivey  ..I'm pretty aware of all of Bob James' output since 1980.  

It's just that I moved on to primarily bop, bebop, hard bop and straight-ahead jazz.

All of Bob James' output since then as a sideman and leader has been of the smooth jazz variety, and I've moved on from that 40 years ago.  Smooth jazz was where the money was at.

Any Bob James fan can spot his sound signature in a minute if he's in the session, I haven't listened to him since the 80's.

Bob keeps putting out albums.  I've even seen his album "Espresso" get a review in Stereophile or TAS, not sure which.  He's still a little too smooth for me, though.
