Been a Bob James fan since the late 70s. Never been disappointed in over 40 years of listening to him and his various colleagues. Long May he continue. Thanks for the music Bob.
Bob James a great musician and so respectful of other musicians with him, as he gives them nice open space to play and shine, and not overshadowing them with the piano.
I never saw a picture of Bob James but have always loved his MUSIC. The type of music you just waste tanks of gas on for the car does not want to stop. You Go Boy.
"nice rhythm" .... this Bob James DEFINITELY HAS GOT HIS THING/SHIT TOGETHER .... "he surely has my respect" ..... "doesn't get much smoother or better than this" .... 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I remember seeing him with Kirk Whalum when Kirk was an unknown outside of Houston where we used to watch him in the clubs and new he was destined for great things. The story goes that Bob was pitching Kirk to a label, and Winton Marsalis was in the room, and the executive asked him, "you ever heard of this kid in Houston, Kirk Whalum?" and Winton said, "yeah, he's baaaad". And that was it. Kirk was in. Have seen Bob several times in concert. Always amazing.
@@skineyemin4276 what is it then? I don’t mean this in a sarcastic way either. I’ve always wondered what style of music this is but every time I do research; it always comes up as “jazz”. It has a different feeling than traditional jazz.
Absolute bliss. I have always loved the sound of those Fender Rhodes pianos, and Bob is truly one of it's masters. The boys at work are going to be getting a lesson on Bob James tomorrow.
Mr. Bob James has released and created too many gems over the course of the years. My only regret was not being able to see him in person as I stayed at an Opera Singer's house in West Nyack and he promised to take me to his place as he was a good friend of his. Regardless, I have a lot of his creations on vinyl. Forever Love and Respect to the one and only.
First heard him doing You're As Right As Rain back in 70s. I was hooked since. That he has stayed productive and thru his music made this crazy world a better place is a testament to his greatness as an artist. No doubt he will treat us to some more till his last breath. Thank you Bob James!
Wow! I've heard some of Bob's older stuff (night crawler, feel like making love, etc.) but this is the first time I've heard this song! This song really cooks!
Dude is my favorite, from taxi to now. This guy has been with me my entire life. I really would like to hear him play “Air” on a classical piano. Thanks Bob.
Hearing a real Rhodes w/ a Grand is so refreshing. I really appreciate this set of videos. Just a wonderful capture of live performance. So good. Thank you for publishing this. Such an encouragement. All the best to you.
These are world class musicians and it is a privilege to listen and watch them. For instance the young base player treats his instrument virtously on a higher skill level that I have never heard before. Amazing artists!
I've known Mike Palazzolo since his late teens: he has ALWAYS been an extraordinary musician! Not only that, he truly, deeply values collaboration. Not every great musician does!
Bob James is our Greatest and Surpassed Jazz Musician ever in the History Books . He is Our Benefactor in this field of Jazz. Thank you for all your impressive music !!!
Home Alone kid blasting the bass while catching flies with the open mouth. While building booby traps for bad guys… Underpinning the whole groove. Urging his bass along-face-to-face! Impressive mix of talents!
what a drummer.
Billy Kilson....outstanding!
Been a Bob James fan since the late 70s. Never been disappointed in over 40 years of listening to him and his various colleagues. Long May he continue. Thanks for the music Bob.

Love your music Bob.. What a trio!!!
Bob James a great musician and so respectful of other musicians with him, as he gives them nice open space to play and shine, and not overshadowing them with the piano.
One of the best jazz keyboard player in the world hands down!!!!! Love it!!!!!
This is so good that young bass player is on 🔥 fire.
This trio is awesome..across generations we can see them blending in one "language" ..well done!👍👍💐
このトリオは、世界最強ですね。特にベーシストとドラマーは特筆すべき存在ですね。ボブが極上のブランデーだと言う事は、既にわかっていました。
Bravo。😂😂😂😂😂😂
A genius and a legend of Jazz.

I wish I had those hands. Bob James could throw his keyboard down a flight of stairs and it would sound good.
What a talent. He's one of the best. My feet really get tapping on this one.
I never saw a picture of Bob James but have always loved his MUSIC. The type of music you just waste tanks of gas on for the car does not want to stop. You Go Boy.
He is the guy playing the piano.
What a performance - all three simply incredible, each of them individually and as a band: phenomenal!
NO MATTER HOW OFTEN I HEAR THIS, ITS LIKE THE FIRST TIME. NEVER GET TIRED HEARING IT! GREAT TRIO!
Nice to see/hear Bob playing the Rhodes again, so many of his classic tunes had that great sound on them.
Nice bro.

Grandes Músicos, que Dios los Bendiga Siempre, y Gracias x Darnos está está muestra de talento, como Siempre Grande Mr Bob James...
I'm gonna be honest; of all the upright bass solos I've heard, this one was the best XD
There's always an unexpected thrill with each video.
I've watched the Billy Kilson moments multiple times...he's gifted as furrrk
In addition to being a true force in jazz, Mr. James has made a continuing practice of giving a start to up and coming talent in the jazz community.
A big fan of fourplay, but seeing Bob James playing with young talent is very nice to watch
Listening to Bob James music will help you relax and remember your life and sing your vocals
Food and balm to my soul! Bob James' jazz always makes me feel good and it all started with "Angela" for the classic sitcom "Taxi".
I like his sound. Thank you so much from Japan.
When we first heard Bob in the 1970s we could've sworn he was a Brother! LOL More power to you, Sir...
I just can't stop listening to this !!
Killin' !! So Groovy!!
I love that line, "Drinking rainwater out your boot".
I feel humbled to share the planet with folks like this.
Bob James is our Greatest and Surpassed Jazz Musician ever in the History Books . He is Our Benefactor in this field of Jazz.
Thank you for all your impressive music !!!
Terrific! Thanks you Bob James. You are a National treasure. Looking forward to seeing you again at MCG in Pittsburgh!
Well done, Mr. Bob James and company. 👍🏾

I feel ashamed...Never listened to him before. I'm sitting here, and I discover this bloke! Thank you, for uploading, class.
Listening to him for the past 40 years.
TheMrgaztop,
That's one of the great things about RUclips. You can view many of Bob James' earlier performances right here on RUclips.
If I was a pianist I would fall in love with the fender rhodes. It might be so great to play this instrument
