Our Take

Ah, Bob James Two, a delightful foray into the world of jazz fusion that leaves listeners both grooving and scratching their heads in confusion. The album kicks off with the funky and infectious track "Take Me to the Mardi Gras," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. James showcases his impressive piano skills throughout, effortlessly weaving in elements of funk, soul, and even a touch of disco. Tracks like "Nautilus" and "Night on Bald Mountain" showcase James' eclectic taste and his ability to bring together seemingly disparate influences into a cohesive whole. The instrumentation is top-notch, with lush string arrangements and slick guitar licks adding depth and complexity to the overall sound. However, where Bob James Two truly shines is in its experimentation with different genres and styles. The inclusion of a cover of "Feel Like Making Love" may seem out of place at first, but James' fresh take on the classic track breathes new life into it and makes it feel right at home alongside the original compositions. Overall, Bob James Two is a fun and whimsical ride through the mind of a musical genius. While not without its quirks and occasional missteps, the album ultimately manages to charm and delight with its sheer audacity and creativity. So sit back, relax, and let Bob James Two take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

Born in New Jersey in 1929, Evans began playing piano at a young age and quickly developed a passion for music.

Evans' music is characterized by its intricate harmonies, melodic inventiveness, and emotional depth. His iconic album "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" is considered a masterpiece of jazz improvisation, showcasing his unparalleled skill as a pianist and composer.
