Bob James

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.

Thanks for the heads up, I am a big Bob James fan.

In the May/June TAS there's a review of "Bob James: Feel Like Making Live!"

I was and still are a huge fan of the Bob James CTI years with James working with Creed Taylor the wonderful producer and Rudy Van Gelder the fantastic recording engineer. Theses three together made some killer music in those years. James also arranged about 50% of the the CTI’s records in those days. Here is a link to Bob James CTI catalog of records he worked on.
