Our Take

Look out, jazz lovers, because the legendary Bob James is back and taking us on a time-travelling musical adventure with his latest release "Once Upon A Time: The Lost 1965 NYC Session".

This album is a hidden gem that showcases James’ early talent and creativity, with each track serving as a snapshot of jazz history. The lost session captures a young Bob James finding his sound, experimenting with different styles, and showing off his impressive piano skills.

From the bouncy rhythms of “Swingin’ with the Duke” to the contemplative melodies of “Misty”, James effortlessly transports listeners back to a bygone era where jazz was king. The chemistry between James and his bandmates is palpable, with each musician shining in their own right.

The production on this album is top-notch, with every note and chord meticulously captured to perfection. The sound quality may be raw compared to modern standards, but that only adds to the charm and authenticity of the recording.

Overall, "Once Upon A Time: The Lost 1965 NYC Session" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. Bob James may have been lost in time, but his music remains timeless. So kick back, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let the smooth sounds of Bob James take you on a journey through jazz history.
