@@haroldwade6098 I agree the GREAT Grover on Tenor, I have met Bob James 2 X times, but never got to me GW Jr., he was a great SAX player, him and BOB, what time
My Dad loved to listen to jazz in the 70s...people would come over and we would go over my aunt's house. 1975-76 Bob James.. touchdown..taxi.. bj3..bj4. I'm 52 and can't do my morning routine without this happy music. Some rapper is going to realize every beat, sample, hook... everything comes from the bible of Bob James
BJ at his best in the late 70's & early 80's. This song reminds me of a now departed friend, who I grew up with. It was our special jam and oh boy, we really danced to this tune.
I remember when I stumbled upon this record when I was working at our record store. This one older gentleman came in, one of our regulars and an old Jazz head, he pulled it out and asked me to throw it on. He was like man I know you, you got to hear this you'll love it. I did and was was completely blown away. I remember when the flutes came in saying What the heck IS THIS?!?! He was like "maaaan I tell you, Bob James is a baaad dude"
Awesome story! It's nice to know that music like this is still out there waiting to be (re)discovered. I'm hearing this one for the first time & am really liking it.
2nd song if i'm not mistaken was the theme of 3 days of the condor ,a movie starring robert redford and faye dunaway in the 1970s ,in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever
I'm not a collector, I just love the music. If I had copies, I wouldn't mind giving them away. "Yes... go listen to this, if you don't like it bring it back. " Especially anything from the Rhodes electric piano era.
Know what's better than hearing Bob James jam for the first time? Having 10× a comas with more than 10x amnesias and hearing this dude for the first time again and again and again.. Yee fukin' Ha
I am here because an epiphany, that is to my mind came a melody and a name, Bob James, searched TH-cam and Here I am, I still can´t find the particular melody but doesn´t matter I can go through all Bob´s discography.
Did you eventually find that song from Bob’s discography? His music has been heavily sampled by contemporary rap and hip hop artists, so that might muddy the search.
I find this album a gem. It is very rarely mentioned in jazz circles due to the snobbery around fusion music. James is the undisputed master - Westchester Lady need I say more 😎
His albums are also not very desirable on the market (using Discogs for reference). I have zero clue why the jazz purists have given his albums a bad reputation. Sadly they might now sound dated to younger generations. But he’s been sampled heavily by modern rap and hip hop artists and they might be oblivious. If they haven’t come appreciate 70s music yet.
@@excrono I totally agree! I'm not a purist myself but simply a fan of great music (plus a part time musician). Yes, songs like Nautilus are heavily sampled. I watched Breaking Bad a few years back and couldn't believe it when Feel Like Making Love popped up when Walt wandered naked in the supermarket lol... at least Vince Gilligan has good taste lol. James is a genius in my view 😎
Que tal Alonso : Yo soy igual que Tu: fan de Bob James y muchos otros musicos del jazz contemporáneo. Asi como Dave Grusin. Yo me "hice" en Jazz-Fm 104.1 Mhz, Cd. de Mex. por cierto ya no existe desde hace muchisimos años. Ojalá tuvieramos un Jazzclub, pero ahorita con la Pandemia está canijo. Por que no comunicarnos por este mediio. Bob James es un genio. lo puedo asegurar !
@@juanjotm4821 buenas noches juan jo. Que bueno que te guste el lazz y que seguiste a Don Roberto Morales en su Jazz FM en el 104.1 desde la torre latinoamericana (me parece escuchar su voz).

These time stamps are all over the place am I right lol I was in my office hearing this from a room over and I was thinking not only did he pioneer some of these sounds he kind of placed alot of class and emphasis on the quality of this kind of music or sound which is cool considering his ear and taste it’s like placing respect on ur influences and inspiration , could b wrong 😂 time to clock out 22:22 just for fun and moving universes in you

This studio group (cti) was amazing in all their studio recordings. And tho I’ve never been to a cti concert (don’t know if there ever was one), I did catch some of the musicians concerts and workshops, e.g., Harvey Mason (drummer),the mastery of the late, great Grover Washington, Jr. (saxes), the late, great, Eric Gale (guitarist). Bob James w/Four Play. Surely one of my All-Time Favorite Session Groups.👍🏾

No!.. 😮 James Brown!!... 😊 but , I do agree with almost everything else you said!!!😅 ... ❤ my Smooth Jazz ❤ 😂
Nice 😎
Many, like me, already know about Bob James and have been sampling him for years.
Bob James was born to be a great musician. He¨s to transmit a very special feeling of joy and peace. ! God bless him.
As a thirty year old goth decided to learn how to play music. I bought a keytar and two years later I ended up here. Thanks Bob James.
BJ at his best in the late 70's & early 80's. This song reminds me of a now departed friend, who I grew up with. It was our special jam and oh boy, we really danced to this tune.
Underrated for sure, albums that didn’t have the commercial appeal but all the artistry.
Bob James has an unmistakable tone about his music, an unmistakable hue about the mood, loved his music. Would see him live in a heartbeat.
One Mint Julep 00:01
Women Of Ireland 9:06
Westchester Lady 17:13
Storm King 24:40

I actually put new time stamps up, then I saw this, lol. I deleted mine...
“Westchester Lady” still gives me goosebumps ❤️
What a bassline ! :)
She shrugs off the dramatic crescendos of life and keeps on rolling, what an unflappable lady!
It's one of my all-time favorite, actually, one of my introductory albums into Jazz.
I remember when I stumbled upon this record when I was working at our record store. This one older gentleman came in, one of our regulars and an old Jazz head, he pulled it out and asked me to throw it on. He was like man I know you, you got to hear this you'll love it.

This was me when the Rhodes came in for the first time.
I had this vinyl back in the day. Glad I am listening to it again. Still so very good. Love it.
Восхищаюсь 😂❤🎉
Classic Bob James. Loved this from day one, "Storm King" is a strong favorite.
2nd song if i'm not mistaken was the theme of 3 days of the condor ,a movie starring robert redford and faye dunaway in the 1970s ,in my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever
Old but gold!
I HAVE HIS ALBUMS AND NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEM HE'S MY IDOL
Righteous!
I feel ya I got multiple copies of Bob James 1 2 3 and 4✌🔥😂
He is my idol too and I don't blame you
I'm not a collector, I just love the music. If I had copies, I wouldn't mind giving them away. "Yes... go listen to this, if you don't like it bring it back. "
Especially anything from the Rhodes electric piano era.
Hallowed (Father), Son (Jesus Christ), Holy Ghost is my only idol
Saw the Bob James Quartet last month and it was amazing! Was a transformative experience for me
Mis respetos para el maestro Bob!
Women Of Ireland my favorite from this masterpiece.
Flashback to the days of 8 track tapes in my Dad's Oldsmobile!!!!
Westchester Lady MASTERPIECE !
I’d like to meed the real lady form Westchester that inspired Bob to write that song, she feels like a force of nature.
CLASSIC!!!! Especially "Women Of Ireland", and "Westchester Lady."
My two favorite on this album as well.
Bob James masterpiece Three . 👍🏾👍🏾👊🏾👊🏾✌🏾💯
An absolute classic of the largely forgotten jazz fusion era. My favorite cut is Women of Ireland. Thanks for posting this indelible gem of an album.
this is quite a find! I love Bob James but I didnt think to go back into the 70's
Know what's better than hearing Bob James jam for the first time? Having 10× a comas with more than 10x amnesias and hearing this dude for the first time again and again and again.. Yee fukin' Ha
Tengo este magnífico álbum ,es inolvidable.
Gracias por llenar mi mundo Con su musica
Excelente álbum!!! Tengo el L. P. desde aquélla época.

Música total..funk jazz...mujer de Irlanda...un himno.
bob james at his finest!!
Mr James one vintage musician
Que bonita música excelente mis felicitaciones para Bob James tengo el disco acetato de aquellos tiempos una joya
Excelente abum!
Grover Washington Jr. Is in top shelf form on this classic recordings.

One of the best jazz keyboardists of our age. Herbie Hancock is the best
Patrice Rushen, Rick Wakeman, and Jan Hammer should be in the conversation for the best jazz keyboardist. Herbie Hancock is an innovator.
Man, there are so many good keyboardplayers. Herbie certainly is. But he has his own style, like Bob James, or Oscar Peterson.
Don't forget George Duke and Chick Corea!
@@kurttoogs1378 Keith Emerson, at least for RocnRoll
@@jazzatnightMcCoy Tyner also.
Tja Leute..I was 13 when i was listening to that..Now i am 60 still bummed...
Wow què recuerdos, feliz escuchando el LP en aquel año de 1977. Discazo!!!

Around 15:00 to end of Women in Ireland is so tranquil! 😇
TNX!
Incredible music!
The musicians on the record are located here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_(Bob_James_album)
Bruce Li funk
This the year i graduated from high school and i was three years into playing bass and dreamed of playing this.
Underrated indeed!
One of those albums that you have in a box in the attic somewhere.
Summer of 1976
Westchester Lady can be heard in an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati.
Wow!!!

Snoop and Slick Rick sampled this joint
Bob decided to turn the dark side of the moon cover sideways.
wimmin of oirland
how did i know that one
🌱😀🌾💙
I picked up how the new edition sampled the beat for their song hit me off
Westchester Lady 17:12
🎩🥃🌷
개좋아
Bob James invented hip hop
No he didn't. Stop that stupidity. He unintentionally made a contribution to a huge genre of music.
I know its Bob James but sometimes it's almost the late Richard Tee.
Five people need to improve their taste. 🙄
Kien conose d jazz , conose d micica ,
Bob James...you've been "Sample"d more than Joe.....Wait 4 it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sick album! Finally heard it completely. Include the musicians in desc If it’s possible please!
Manu y ya what s sick about it moron ?
@@judefernandez827
Sick meaning really GOOD....get it now MORON ??
Kevin Manns lmao
You had to have your side kick to reply for you dummy I mean thick head .
Jude Fernandez what’s wrong with you? are u 10 years old? Enjoy the music and don’t disturb the rest
who tf disliked this lol
Who are the musicians ,? Who is the drummer ? PERHAPS Harvey Mason ?
Bob James usually rolled with Gary King-bass, Eric Gale-guitar, Harvey Mason - drums but Andy Newmark played drums on a couple cuts.
no
That cover looks awfully familiar...
production is ridiculous - - - -
I enjoyed this music but didn't consider it jazz, preferring to call it fusion music instead
