Bob James - Joined At The Hip - 2019 Remastered (SACD) - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

First released in 1974, One is the second solo album by jazz keyboardist Bob James, Bob enlisted a string of experienced Jazz players including Steve Gadd and Idris Muhammad on drums, Grover Washington on Sax and Gary King on bass. Led by the maestro himself on keyboards, One is a rich, experimental Jazz Funk record, excitingly hovering at the forefront of where music can take your soul. Produced by Creed Taylor and recorded at the famous Van Gelder Studios, the record is a monument of progressive musical greatness. It was important to hip-hop as one of the most sampled tracks in American music. In the 47 years since the of One, producers have interpolated or sampled 'Nautilus' over 350 times. This is a brilliantly written and performed genre-defying set of superb tracks. Evosound has remastered the album using hi-resolution digital transfers from the original analogue master tapes and will be manufactured in SACD. The hybrid SACD plays on both SACD and regular CD players. Details 1. Valley of the Shadows - 2021 Remastered 2. In the Garden - 2021 Remastered 3. Soulero - 2021 Remastered 4.

Jazz Hands is Bob James' third outing for evosound, following in the wake of 2018's Espresso and 2022's Feel Like Makin' LIVE. Produced by the pianist with his manager Sonny Abelardo, the ten-track album was mostly recorded during the months of the Covid pandemic and featured James in a number of different musical settings. It also features a stellar cameo from the ex-Gnarls Barkley singer CeeLo Green on the sensuous title track and includes production input from the legendary hip-hop turntablist DJ Jazzy Jeff, who rose to fame as half of the hit-making '80s/'90s rap duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince, early samplers of James' music. Blending cool jazz tropes with funky dance floor grooves, blues-tinged ballads, cinematic mood pieces, and sensuous slow jams, Jazz Hands is the Missouri pianist's most eclectic album of his long career. Simultaneously classic and contemporary, it's Bob James at his majestic, ground-breaking, and timeless best. The album has been nominated for the GRAMMY AWARDS® for the category of InchBest Contemporary Instrumental AlbumInch - proving that the Jazz legend has no plans to slow down anytime soon. Details 1.
