Album Review
Bob James's first recording for his Tappan Zee label, which has been reissued on CD along with virtually James' entire output by Warner Bros., is typically lightweight. Although Grover Washington, Jr. has two spots on soprano and trumpeter Jon Faddis is in the brass section, James' dated Fender Rhodes keyboard is the lead voice throughout the six pieces, which include two adaptations of classical works. Only a lightly funky version of "Feel Like Making Love" rises above the level of pleasant background music.
Customer Reviews
Early Bob James
I wish iTunes would date albums correctly by the original production date rather than their personal entry date. This folks is a very early Bob James and dates back almost 30 years. What can be heard is James finding his place in the world of music. A very entertaining album but not a current example of what Bob James has developed into today.
Bob is Always Funky
Every bit of music on this album can be sampled. Best get it cleared though. Collect all Bob James' stuff. You'll hear Ghostface Killah, Run DMC, Pete Rock, Rakim; everybody. (well, their samples anyway). Get This for your listening enjoyment...now.
Thanks for the Heads Up, Man of Cool!
Although this album was origianlly released in April, 1974, then again on CD in October 1995, it's still Bob James all the way. There is something about his touch and style on the keyboard which, judging by this album, he developed early and has retained throughout his musical career. It's unmistably Bob James. If you like him, sample these tunes - you'll buy the album just like I did. Maybe it's not his best work, but it still very, very good.
