I remember watching Taxi with my Dad. I was 8 or 9 years old and sometimes, he would let me stay up late, to watch it with him. He’d always say, “don’t tell your mother”. (She worked nights as a waitress at the time).
He died in 2021 from cancer. Now all I have are the memories.
Good night Mr. Walters.
He's not dead.
Uh-huh 🥲
What a beautiful memory… ❤
Respect bro. My Pop had this on vinyl bcus he was a huge Bob James fan, we'd listen to this for hours... I lost him to cancer as well.. I feel your pain. ✌🏾
@@fabriciodultra3987 internet coward
The 70's had the very best tv theme songs.
The 70s had the best everything!
Cuz musicians……today music has been dumbed down to entertainment which doesn’t exist with a video and a frigging soap opera around fat lips and silicon boobs.
The 80’s too 😃
Soooooooo true! All the best in 2024 🙂
The '70's was the best decade ever. Nixon went down in disgrace , the Viet Nam war ended and the bi-centennial was awesome. Great music. Great movies. No internet and we had everything and we were happy.
It's such a joy that it only takes 3 people to make such a complete & glorious groove as this, nothing is wanting, nothing is missing.
Very true
Well, that is the basic of any band, right?? Drums, bass and guitar / keys.
I find watching Azymuth is like this too.Listening to them,they sound bigger than a trio,like there must be more contributing to this complete sound World, then you watch them and you're like...that's it?
This is exactly what I feel. Thanks, I've been struggling to express this feeling in words
@@noroardanto Most welcome
It's hard to believe that Bob is 85 years young. He looks and sounds fantastic!
Wow, I never would have known!
Not to be picky, but he would have been 82 for this performance.
@@paulwhetstone0473 and that's still remarkable! 😉
Yes he does, Bob James looks amazing. It the jazz the music 🎶 🎵 keeping him young. Great energy.
He's a national treasure.
I took my wife on our first date to a Bob James concert 43 years ago. We’ve been married now for 37 years. This song and my life will forever be entangled.
Wonderful. 😊
I pray my marriage is as long!
❤❤❤❤
❤
Won her over by your good taste in music!
My little brother died August 15,2023,I think perhaps this piece was among his favorites.😢😢😢61 years old I will miss him until my time to has expired..
Condolences to you and your family.
It's 2Feb2024, my Condolences on your loss. Lost my Brother Michael in 2007 loved this Song. I am with you my friend. They're looking down on us. God's Blessings 🙏BTW I am 60 yrs old .
@@user-vo5kv9qi6k My Condolences to you and your family as well. We have our precious memories. Enjoy the music while we can.
condolences 💐
My condolences. It’s amazing how music transports back to more joyful times. I hope the rest of your days are as kind to you as they can be. Blessings.
That Rhodes and acoustic bass sounds so nice together.
Simply sublime!
I wonder if that’s the same Rhodes. Those things are built like tanks.
Ahhh YES,!! Fender Rhodes. Bob James, Herbie Hancock….the innovators and MASTERS of the incomparable Rhodes🙏🏾
@@DeliRevv I gave one away that had a lot of bent tines. Maybe a mistake, but I had to make room in my studio for a Steinway Baby Grand. Bob used a Nord 3 later on for the EP tone. Lighter, less bulky, and even more reliable. Knock on any Nord!
"The yellow taxi driving over the Brooklyn Bridge"....makes me want to re watch the classic TV show!
If I'm not mistaken I think it was actually the Queensboro Bridge the opening sequence was filmed on
Fun fact: it was Tony Danza driving that taxi! He talked about it on “The View” not too long ago.
Love Bob James. I played his music all through college as a DJ at a HBCU radio station 36 years ago.
Good taste for a college DJ!
The fact that this video has almost one and a half million views fills me with hope 😊
As a kid I used to watch Taxi just before falling asleep. That song has been forever linked with a time in my life of no stress and innocence. This performance brought it all back. Thank you.
This song has always been one of my favorites; ever since I was a little kid.
It was the first song I remember that made me feel an emotion I didn’t understand. Like a sadness, a melancholy feeling.
Same here Cats..😊
You too?! I’m an 80s baby I I think I may have heard this in the womb. It gives me the exact same emotions you described. Innocence, sadness then tranquillity.
One of the most recognizable songs ever…if you grew up in that era!!!
Moved to New York and had a son with a wonderful woman named Angela. Growing up Taxi made me fall in love with NY.. I never knew the name theme song until maybe a few years after my son was born. I love him and still love Angela. No we didn’t stay together but we are still a family.. Taxi knew❤
Who's jamming in 2024??
Playing the song "Taxi" in my "uber"
They Snapped!!!!!
I’m jamming up 2025
I’ve been watching it on Prime =)
🙌🏻
God, I love real music like this. Thank You!
I grew op a block away from Bob. I was a lot younger, but I do recall his dad, Lamkin James proudly calling out to Bob in the next room to sing out a specific note, which Bobby did. Then Mr. James walked to the piano and played the note. Perfect match, perfect pitch, evertime. Mr James was an attorney. Bob wa a proud Marshall Owl. Marshall, Mo.
Taxi and Hill Street Blues. Just the theme songs were enough to make you want to watch the shows 😉
Barney Miller
The music,the opening scenes and closing scenes are etched upon my mind forever.
They just go hand in hand together.
Perfection beyond perfection
An iconic smooth groove -- from an era when TV theme songs were something special.
I don't know what it is about the tone or melody of this song that makes me a little bit emotional; it makes me smile but teary eyed at the same time. Maybe because I remember hearing it as a kid and at that time in my life things were simpler and I was more innocent. Loved ones were still around, hard times and struggles were still years away. Something about this track just makes me feel safe, like being pulled into a long embrace and being held, or finally coming home after being away for a long time. I never want that feeling to go away. 💗💗💗 I hope this track has this affect on me for the rest of my life.
Thank you BJ for blessing the world with your genius!!🙏🙏🙏
❤
...Aja, I'm impressed by the choice of your words, after hearing Angela; almost a perfect summary of the story of my life so far... Jan-W
So true!!! There are some/few songs in history that have that affect & this is one!!!
Aja Christian Yes, "Angela" is a bittersweet tune. The sitcoms of the 70s and 80s usually had raucous, goofy music -- which is fine. But one major element that made "Taxi"
stand out was Bob James' pensive tune that went against type.
You said everything that I have thought each time I listen to this song.
I was a fan of watching Taxi as kid because I was in love with the theme song!!! Little did I know as became an adult I realized that it was written by an actual jazz artist who is pianist!!!listing to this now in 2024 has a whole different kind of appreciation now that my understanding in music theory has evolved since I was a kid trying to figure music theory!!!
Me too, and mom had his eight tracks.
Quintessential NY. Perfect!!! Transported to a time that will not likely exist ever again. Just so moving & perfect!!!❤
This music will never fade... Taxi and Angela with Bob James is always a Classic. Just LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Give that sound engineer a raise. Dude gave Bob and these talent musicians the utmost respect. 🔥🔥🔥
Yesssssss!
Yep, sounds amazing
Agree 100%
Sounds a bit too clean and clinical to me and a bit washed out with reverb but that could just be my taste
You’re spot on with the quality of the audio engineering. It’s outstanding!
1 of the sweetest songs ever written in earths history…still just as sweet 44yrs later….
Mr. Sani Tait. Great music has no boundaries, language, no country, no race, color or religion.
It’s like what you said. It’s just this amazing 44 years or one million year from now. God bless this music.
Nothing more true has ever been said ... but not just the song, but the way it is played!
@@JulieMoranNE111 Good Night & Sweet Dreams 😇
I couldn't agree more. Soulful, yet comforting at the same time. Brings tears to my eyes reminding of the good times of my childhood.

Every time I hear this masterpiece it takes me back to watching "Taxi" as kid. Fond, happy memories. Bob James' talent is a blessing to us all!
Most definitely!
Better times…🍻
I didn't even watch it. The theme is what I remember.
👍 agreed
Remember Louie the Palmer 😅😅😅
Bugs bunny & " Looney tunes" was my intro to classical music ( ride of the valkyries=kill the rabbit)
One of the most beautiful, relaxing themes of all time!
This song feels like a beloved family member who I grew up with. Masterful. Thank you.
LPJ .................every week in the 70s & 80s show and song !!!!!!
You did.
As did I
I used to love watching the taxi driving over the bridge in the beginning.
This song playing.
I have this dog downloaded onto my phone.
I have Barney Miller and good times as well.
I could not have said this better.
@@dr.davidschwartz1872 th-cam.com/video/39k067hcgYY/w-d-xo.html
Here's a little something for you.
It's just a scene from taxi.
But it makes me laugh every time.
Peace ✌️
I was born August 1, 1983. My mom was late in pregnancy with me during the final episodes of Taxi, which aired in the hot summer of 1983. This song goes absolutely right to the core of my brain in a way that no other song does, it's totally wild.
Leo gang!
Reminds me of the days living abroad in London missing my Grandparents. They lived in Forest Hills, The show Taxi use to come on in England and I loved the opening scene with the music of the taxi go over the bridge and I would get so home sick. We took the Williamsburg bridge but it still reminded me of New York City going to my Grams and Pappy's. Thank you for that wonderful song which will always be with me forever. Cheers Bob James! TOUCHDOWN!
Man such an iconic song... sure does arouse childhood memories..
Definitely 😊
For many of us..the first song that got us familiar with Bob James. I remember the day I bought Touchdown ((1980) because this song was on it... Arriving home and putting the LP on my turntable..putting my headphone on..listening the entire album..I was addicted until today. Thanks Mr. James👍
same here!
Same!
My personal bob jamesvfavorite is on touchdown , carribean nights
I share your sentiments.
I heard Heads first, I have been a fan since day one and really not a single month in the last 40+ years that has gone by that at least one of his songs rings in my head...keeps me centered!!!🥰💖💖💖
The main melody is, obviously, iconically great, but the true genius is the response and the building throughout the piece. Bob creates an enthralling dialogue. How lucky we are to live in a time when we can freely listen to his music.
Awesome every time you listen to it....the iconic Bob James
The sound production is off the charts on this, as a drummer this is an absolute joy to listen. The drummer here has an incredible feel. Incredible performance gents 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
Billy kilson
th-cam.com/video/mx4nA1EMjPA/w-d-xo.html. He's unreal.
What does a yellow light mean?😊
Oh yeah! You should hear him solo…
Billy Kilsons Drumming always blows my mind,,,
It's 5 in the morning. The mind wont sleep. The kind of awakeness that you'd pray for an a friday afternoon. I stumble over this as an adult still bemused at the plethora of jewels that is youtube, but nothing I've experienced could beat the nuances and subtlties of such perfection and bliss produced by these craftsmen at the top of their game. God bless you all for such a creation.Truely!
Word
It’s a week later. Can’t sleep.
Yeah, well said. Beautiful piece of music from true craftsmen.
And Bob and his guys just take it to another level everytime.. Can't get enough. Thank you
Well said friend
Makes me feel like watching some 80s shows like Taxi, WKRP, Moonlighting, Love Boat and more with those classic themes!
leave bruce willis out of it and i'm with you...
@@rillloudmother hahaha 😆 nice, I forgot about the full head of hair Willis days!
@@scottmoore3043 lol, he didn't even have a full head of hair then...
Excellent idea😊
Yeah loved watching the American shows here in the Uk....Jeez I forgot about WKRP Lol...
There just has to be a Bob James in this world .😊
One of my favorite memories is listening to this on my MP3 player while walking in the cold rain.
I never get tired of hearing this song.
This recording is beautiful, round, warm and full . The sound of the room is exquisite.
One of my favorite moments of my childhood were taking road trips with my parents and one of the cassettes they would play constantly was “All Around The Town” which they got shortly after it came out in 1981. Now all these years later, I am playing it for my family whenever we go somewhere together. The circle of love continues on. Thank you, Bob!
This is my favorite version of the song. Loved watching "Taxi" growing up and this theme song is like a warm chocolate chip cookie with a glass of warm milk. So smooth. I also enjoyed the bass player's James Franco-esque facial expressions (Yo-Yo Ma would be proud if he saw this lol). Kidding aside, Bob James selected two great virtuosos; just awesome! Thank you for posting!
✌😎
I feel that in my bones!!!
@@J_S_R_123 Thanks! Happy Holidays!
I love Angela, since Taxi. She's matured gracefully. Great trio and great version.. in fact it's my favorite one.
I come back to this page, to listen to it every couple of days.. 😍
Amazing Bob James. Been a fan since 1979
Nice. As the Taxi theme song, it was never long enough.
If you know you just know...Bob James what a master of emotions and feelings
Beautiful . I was in a Blues Band in the 70s and there is nothing like a Fender Rhodes. R.I.P. Harold Rhodes. . .
Pure 70's remember watching it as a teenager late at night. Best theme tunes for all shows were in the 70's.
@killianlpc • Theme song from S.W.A.T.❗
@killianlpc • Heck, the Streets Of San Francisco had a heckuva theme opening song. A Quinn Martin production.
Just beautiful.
Bob James One is my favorite.
This slaps.
Where has music gone, love, laughs, smiles, peace ? This is truly what life is all about ..
You can see they were in a creative moment together!!!

The drummers reactions when playing the song is how I am whenever I hear this beautiful memory filled song :)
I think this is the best Jazz drummer I’ve heard ever.
Soft smooth emotional defining 👌👌👌👌
His drums are tuned so well, where music just seem to flow effortlessly
I’ve heard Bob James for over 40 years and he gets better with time
To the band
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brings back fond memories of watching Taxi Thursday night here in the UK back in the 80's. Great times. 👍👍
The next thing we knew, Run DMC came out with Peter Piper which sampled Bob James' Take Me To The Mardis Gras and suddenly a whole different light was shone on Bob's music. I've since collected many of his LPs on vinyl.
My nightly night cap. I can't go to sleep without listening to this song first. Thank you.
Bob James is a genius 😎
Always makes you feel cozy
Growing up I never knew this song had an actual name "Angela" I always associated it as the "Taxi" theme song....at the :23 second mark I was transported to my 11 year old self😢😢😢good music never gets old❤
👍👍
sweet nostalgia, a beautiful thing
Very nostalgic!
Same here, it is even cooler 38 years later to know Bob James is the one who wrote it and is one of the musicians involved in playing the keyboard in it!! 😍

The most underated middle eight in music
What is a middle 8?
@@goldbrick2563 basically another name for the bridge, I believe.
I watched taxi and loved the show. And I loved the theme music and had no idea who was playing it. When I found out, I always wanted to say this... thank you Mr James
I don't know how many times I've heard this piece, maybe thousands, and this trio arrangement is the closest thing to the live version of the double album recorded in NYC called All Around the Town, from 1981. I continue and will continue humming this tune probably until the last of my breaths.
All Around the Town was/is a masterpiece!
Thanks for bringing it up, I’ll have to find it now.

I'll never get tired of hearing this lovely tune.
Bright. Shiny. New all over again.
Bob James is a legend..the band’s tight
To watch this performance is astounding
This song is so beautiful. It used to make me cry as a kid. There's just something so somber yet uplifting about it.
Knew I wasn't the only one. 😭
same! one of the best grooves ever.
I concur wholeheartedly
So strange. I can relate. The theme used to play on TV and be so soothing. Never once watched the show, but that theme... 😏
I honestly get what you mean. Its like a feeling that it will get better. Merry Christmas ❤
Takes me back to my teen age years when I would stay up late on school nights to watch Taxi before going to bed. Always loved the theme song.❤
OOH THIS IS STILL SO GOOD!!!!!!
Bob is a fantastic player for sure, do you notice how he just drops right into the background when someone else takes a solo. Great respect for other members in his band. When Bob comes back to play, they all support him. Result, awesome sound, love it.
That took me places, fantastic.
“Real Music by Real Musicians!” Prince.
This is what Life is all about in this rendition performed by Bob & and his players. Thank you😌✊🏽🎼💜🇯🇲🌲
Sometimes I wish I was Billy Kilson, he always looks like so deep in the zone, and he always elevates the music with his style. But when you need him to blow the roof off, he can.
...as a kid, I remember going up in Detroit, waiting for "Taxi" the TV show to come on. Awesome days, awesome song to this day. Blessings Dr. James....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯💯💯💯💯💯🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Bought the album for this cut. I was a fan from then on. Always liked the version with the sax.
I went to a concert of his at the Pontchartran Hotel in Detroit back in '82. Alexander Zonjic played flute on this piece, a great evening!
This performance is why Rhodes is the best piano instrument ever.
That was absolutely masterful and purely beautiful. Thanks a trillion!!!
This is one of the cleanest trios ever.
I was shocked to realize that you were 82 years old at the time of this comment Mr. James. Seems to me your incredible music never ages on me. I guess in my mind neither do you sir. Wishing you continued long life and thank you for your gift these many years.
You know the upright bass player is in another world with those facial expressions... wish i could travel there with you, Sir!
My tune and my name❤ I have always loved Bob James music 😊
Here because Rick and Morty reminded me how good this song is!!
I really think Mr. James reintroducing the Rhodes is awesome. His playing ,the band, and the arrangement are totally top notch
Listen to Rim Banna - Bahallellak, that's one of the most beautiful recording with Rhodes in it.
Totally. Love 💕 his Rhodes playing
This. It's that wonderful Rhodes tone, soooo good

I don't think Bob ever did anything that wasn't impeccable! A man that totally loves what he does and we're lucky that he's shared it with all of us!
Honestly, the best bass solo I've ever heard ❤ well done Michael Palazzolo. You're the best!
Wanted to hit the like button a second time after that..
There's definitely a different sound of a stand up bass and an electric bass. Stand up sounds more jazzy
One of my top five favorite TV theme songs
This song still makes me cry.
One of the best TV show themes ever written, hands down. What an era of shows.
Nothing compares to that era of TV to this day.
Amazing this masterpiece was a theme song for a television show. I loved the show, but my favorite part of the show was the intro just to hear this song.
Westchester Lady was my favorite song with Bob James and I was concerned for all the other jazz professionals and musicians involved in the making of that particular song I appreciate you Bob you're the greatest
As a Yorkshire lad, living in suburban Yorkshire, my life couldn't have been further from the vibe of Taxi, but I loved it with a passion (as did all my mates actually) and for me, the theme music was a big part of that love.
Many, many thanks.
This song feels like ALL MY FAVORITE THINGS.
Congratulations to the recordings engineers, too! The reverb on those rim clicks is fantastic!
absolutely
What a beautiful piece of music from Bob James. I used love to watch Taxi. What a great show! They don't make beautiful music like that anymore. Thank you Bob James for Angela!!
This is so sweetly mellow, moody but light, with refreshing tempo changes,, and we get an intimate experience from great camera work. My number 1 favorite.
One of the most underrated TV Themes. Love the chorus on the Rhodes!
