Fabuloso!!!,

This review is from: H (Audio CD)
Bob James has long been the key man in the NYC smooth jazz scene. Over the years he has been the leader of and keyboard man in Fourplay, he has collaborated with Earl Klugh, David Sanborn, Grover Wahington and Lee Ritenauer. This guy has been banging out great music for more than 20 years. I went back to listen to this album this summer and it holds up well. It could be released next week as new material and Jazz fans would gobble up it again. From beginning to end this is a strong offering. In fact, I think it was Snowbird Fantasy that first hooked my wife and myself on Bob. Buy this album. It is better than Touchdown and better than 95% of the drivel that is being released today. Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars
a true adventure!,
By James R. Prater (Cleveland Tn.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: H (Audio CD)
Bob James brings musical visions to life in his eighth solo recording. "Snowbird Fantasy" is an infectious samba featuring the distinctive percussion work of Airto Moreira. "Sheperd's Song" (from France's Haute-Auvergne region) gets the smooth treatment with Grover Washington, Jr. playing both sax and tin whistle. The saxophonist is featured once again on the funky "Brighton By The Sea". Bob praises Sony's [then] new invention on "The Walkman", which features a killer guitar solo from Hiram Bullock. The Billy Joel rhythm section steps in for "Thoroughbred", the album's most adventurous number. The album closes quietly with a unique treatment of Peaches & Herb's hit "Reunited. The refrain is left out, giving Bob, bassist Gary King, and Grover Washington, Jr. the opportunity for creative soloing. Also deserving of mention are the album's liner notes and the unusual cover.

This review is from: H (Vinyl)
I was not a big Bob James fan except when he played with Grover or other artists. he always did a bang up job producing and playing with others and his records were good. Having Grover on this record was great and Bob always had good tunes on his records and got a lot of airplay. Maybe that is why I did not buy his records in the 70s in college money was tight. Now I may buy more especially with guys like Earl Klugh etc., I remember when he did one with him.- kh
