Jazz / Christmas
It's a family affair for Bob James, one of the elder statesmen of Contemporary Jazz, as he teams up with daughter Hilary for an album of Holiday fare. And, keeping it in the family, the forthcoming CD is produced by Kevin DiSimone, Hilary's husband (Bob's son-in-law).
James has been providing solid albums since the 60s, with landmarks such as "Touchdown" along the way. If you think you've never heard James play, watch an episode of "Taxi"; yep, that theme song, "Angela," is from James.
Bob James has a few Christmas songs floating around out there featuring his distinctive keyboard playing, including two appearing on the 1997 compilation Warner Bros. Jazz Christmas Party (one with the Bob James Trio and one with Bela Fleck), as well as an entire holiday CD with the jazz supergroup Fourplay.
Bob James
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Dec 25, 1939 in Marshall, MO
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Jazz-Pop, Crossover Jazz, Smooth Jazz
Bob James' recordings have practically defined popjazz and crossover during the past few decades. Very influenced by pop and movie music, James has often featured R&B-ish soloists (most notably Grover Washington, Jr.) who add a jazz touch to what is essentially an instrumental pop set. He actually started out in music going with a much different direction. In 1962, James recorded a bop-ish trio set for Mercury, and three years later his album for ESP was quite avant-garde, with electronic tapes used for effects. After a period with Sarah Vaughan (1965-1968), he became a studio musician, and by 1973 was arranging and working as a producer for CTI. In 1974, James recorded his first purely commercial effort as a leader; he later made big-selling albums for his own Tappan Zee label, Columbia, and Warner Bros., including collaborations with Earl Klugh and David Sanborn. James remains relatively busy in the studio and since 2000 has released several albums including Dancing on the Water in 2001, That Steamin' Feelin' in 2002, Hi-Fi in 2003, and Urban Flamingo in 2006, among others.
