Jazz / Jazz-Pop; Crossover Jazz; Smooth Jazz
With Sign of the Times, Bob James, who had done so much to define so-called "smooth jazz," gave his audience yet another dose of the type of pop/R&B/jazz fluff he'd been successful with. Consistently boring and mindless, the album has all of the things one expects from a Bob James recording -- dull arrangements, forgettable melodies and robotic background vocals.
