The Very Best Of ~ CD ~ Bob James

With a career spanning several decades, Bob James richly deserves his reputation as one of the most accomplished smooth jazz keyboardists, composers and arrangers. His characteristic laid-back style, combining tuneful melodies with a funky underlay, disguises a supreme technical ability and consummate musicianship, ably supported in these recordings by some of the top session players in the genre. Hugely influential within the jazz field, Bob James has also established himself as the sampling ‘go to guy’ for many of the world's leading hip hop artists. Featuring all the significant and best-loved Bob James numbers, including ‘Angela’ (the theme from ‘Taxi’), ‘Nautilus’, ‘Feel Like Making Love’ and ‘Take Me To The Mardi Gras’, this collection is a smooth jazz masterclass which is sure to delight Bob James fans and newcomers alike. Includes detailed sleevenotes in an 8-page booklet.
