James, Bob

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

	12 Used - LP - FC 39580 Mint 1984 Gatefold Original. “12 Is Of Historic Value Because It Introduced Saxophonist Kirk Whalum, Who Was Still A Year Away From Debuting As A Leader With 1985's Floppy Disk. One Of The More Noteworthy Albums That Bob James Came Out With In The '80s, 12 Finds Him Featuring The Up-And-Coming Whalum On Three Selections: The Funky "No Pay, No Play," The Pensive "Midnight" And Whalum's Own "Ruby, Ruby, Ruby" (A Slightly Spyro Gyra-Ish Number). While Those Selections Are Enjoyable, The Strongest Tune On The LP Is James' Haunting, Chick Corea-Influenced "Legacy.” Alex Henderson, AMG. more

	All Around The Town New - LP - C2X 36786 Sealed 1981 2LP Gatefold Original. Clean Cut Out Hole (Not Shown). “Over Four Days In December Of 1979, Pianist Bob James Assembled Three Different Bands To Play (And Record) At Three Legendary Venues In New York City To Showcase His Own Diversity As A Composer, Arranger, And Bandleader. The Bottom Line, Town Hall, And Carnegie Hall, All Offered Different Aspects Of James' Approach To Jazz And Popular Music. The Bottom Line Band Is A Smooth And Funky Sextet That Includes Saxophonists Wilbert Longmire And Mark Colby, James, Drummer Idris Muhammad, Bassist Gary King, And Guitarist Hiram Bullock. The Town Hall Gigs Featured A Larger Band That Included Three Pianists: James, Joanne Brackeen, And Richard Tee, As Well As Drummers Billy Hart And Steve Gadd And Bassist Eddie Gomez. Finally The Carnegie Hall Show Featured A Yet Larger Orchestra That Included Tom Scott, Earl Klugh, And Bullock On Guitars, Muhammad, King, Tom Browne, Jim Pugh, And Dave Taylor, And More. Musically, The Double LP Ranges From The More Popular Contemporary Jazz Of The Period Such As "Angela (Theme From Taxi)," And "Touchdown," Jazz And Classical Standards (Including Benny Goodman's "Stompin' At The Savoy," And Georges Bizet's "Farandole (L'Arlisienn Suite #2),") And Even Pop Hits Such As Boz Scaggs "We're All Alone." The Bottom Line Material Only Includes Two Performances —The Aforementioned "Angela" And "Westchester Ladies." The Carnegie Hall Cuts Are The Most Satisfying Because Of James' Killer Charts. The Nearly 12-Minute Scaggs' Tune Goes Into A Wild Interlude That Distills Everything Form Pop Balladry To Jazz-Funk To Big-Band Wail. The Highlight From The Town Hall Gigs Is James' Stellar "The Golden Apple," That Clocks In At Over Ten Minutes. The Three Pianists Really Get To Interact Here In The Various Modes At Work In The Core Of The Tune.” – Thom Jurek, All Music Guide more

	Obsession Used - LP - 25495 1986 Vinyl Rarity With Custom Inner Sleeve. Shrink Wrap Intact. LP Appears Glossy. “Obsession Is James' First Solo Album For Warner Brothers After Roughly Ten Years At CBS. James' First Successful Warner Brothers Endeavor Had Him Teaming Up With David Sanborn For The Ubiquitous And Well-Executed Double Vision. By 12, James, Like Many Other Keyboardists, Had Begun To Experiment With Every Gadget That Came Down The Pike With Mixed Results. "Obsession" Displays The Often Chilly Sounds Of The Period Synthesizers. The Only Vocal Track, "Gone Hollywood," Co-Written By Lenny White, Has Good Keyboard Textures And Plaintive Vocals From Lisa Fischer And Blistering Guitar Solos From Steve Khan. Unlike Double Vision, Obsession Seems To Be More Unassuming. While Many Might Be Put Off By The Pure-'80s Production Values Of "3AM" And "Rousseau," Luckily They Have Compelling Arrangements To Ward Off Boredom. The Album's Best Song, "Rain," Is A Methodical And Pretty Track That Is An Essential For Devotees Of The Often-Maligned Late-'80s Jazz-Pop Era. Obsession Certainly Works Better Than 12 And Is A Suitable Continuation Of The Style Of Early-'80s Albums The Genie And Sign Of The Times.” Jason Elias, AMG. more
