Saturday evening, I am here doing some work on my PC while sipping on a beer with this relaxing music in the background. No one shouting across my speakers . Great music
i miss the half lively of Java Jazz since my wife passed away on July 2021 after 33 years happy marriage . We always watch together during the three days of the show. She is irreplaceable... (21.8.23)
David McMurray plays his flute like his was born with it in his hands. His playing is breathtaking that I feel like crying, dancing, and hugging someone all at the same time! 🪈 ❤🎵
Bellissimo !!🎉😮 listening 👂 after attending 2024 Easter 🐣 Easter 🐣 Sunday Catholic Mass here in Vegas 🇺🇸 🌎 🇺🇲 w/ ooozing Jazz Music 🎷 by Boise ..loved it...Magnificus !!
Believe it or not, Bob James' music inspired me to study when I was in college, the long study nights when I had to prepare for final semester exams ... That was the music that accompanied me during the long nights of study, now in my 60's I still listen to it with greater admiration .. Bob James you are great !
Been listening to Bob James my whole life. Mom's and pops would listen, when we lived in Missouri. We had all of his albums. I'm 44. Rip grover washington jr. Classics. 👌🏿👍🏾
Me too. 🥰 Ohhhhh how I miss Grover ! So glad we have him recorded !!! My last job was DJ on KXDC in Pacific Grove, Ca. 1991-92. Grover was one of my favorites to find on my playlist. ♥️♥️♥️
YEH … BUBBA …. And He’s playing that song just as smooth as he ever did since the VEEY first time he ever did it … Sven live it’s as SMOOTH as the Studio Recording
My first time hearing this rendition. It was just playing on the radio, I decided to look for it. This song went through my heart and soul to my my bones. I felt that each musician was playing the respective instrument with heart. Tears came to my eyes.
I still think his relationship with that world is complex and somewhat conflicted, and I can understand why he feels that way. He sees the creativity in how people repurposed his music to make something new, but he still also seems disappointed that People didn’t ask for his permission or invite him to actually collaborate. Imagine how cool some of those early hip-hop records would have been if they actually featured Mr. Bob James himself
I'm 67 years young, start listening to Bob James , in my 20s while serving in the United States Air Force in 1973, sound good them. Sound great after all these years. You the man Mr. James
This just popped up on my phone. I went to middle & high school with Earl. He has been playing like this since were kids. It wasn't the music young, inexperienced ears want to hear. But, We always respected him at our talent shows because we were aware of his gift. ❤❤
Bob James is one of the Gods Jazz Fusion Pianists like Joe Sample, Dave Grusin, David Benoit, Chick Corea and Ramsey Lewis. Those 70s jazz music never dies.
Sorry to hear your Dad has passed. His tone on the Bob James LPs from the '70's was one of the things that inspired me to switch from guitar to bass. His playing was tasteful and exquisite yet powerful. I wish I could have thanked him in person for all of the happiness his music brought me.
@@handler0000 Manifesto of revolution is something like....we overthrow so that afterward we can throw anyone with Sanchez surname out or back to Mexico and Latin America, right? That would be the only reason …..get rid of the worthless trash who've come in here illegally.

I'm recently retired from school teaching with my specialty of music. Many times did I introduce my students to this sort of music. To them it was noise. To my proper music students it was heaven. I'm currently in the process of writing a pad out of music for a potential orchestra of 20 players. Strings (real not synthed) horns and yours truly on keys (a la Bob J). The music with be a tribute to all of my favourite players over the years.
Wow - beautiful comment. Thanks for that. I'm a school teacher who loves music but cannot play a thing. I appreciate those who can. Amazing performance!
I had a girlfriend who introduced me to Bob's music around 1976. Saw a show or two of his. Still have lots of his records. Thanks, Kathy. Your musical taste was just one more reason to love you.
Bob James IS one of the most prestigious composer, performer and such a Linda person. Listen toto his music if you doubt it. Greetings from Paris. Jean-Daniel
Con Bob James he llorado, reído, he está alegre, contento. He desahogado penas. Por todos los estados de ánimo he pasado. Lo sigo desde hace hace unos 45 años y me encanta , es maravilloso
I have loved this guy since the early 70's. Truly unique and wonderful. I have met him twice in the UK, once with Fourplay at the Clapham Grand and once with his quartet at Ronnie Scott’s in SoHo. A true legend of smooth jazz and an inspiration to all who follow. Please listen to all his earlier and later albums you will not be disappointed.
Woow such music never expires....one can play it over and over again...same song on and on ....its a lullaby...its everything...just difficult to describe it justifiably....woow
Love you guys for an amazing session!!! Yall show me the the beauty and time yall put in this. It touches my heart and will always remember this. Wish I was there in person.
Bob James and his band playing this song is always my favorite since I first heard it more than 30 year ago. Forever a wonderful a classic ! Thank you Mr. James
This is by far the very best version of this song ever. The production is perfect. Love it. Don't know how many times I've had to listen to it. Many thanks.
Bob James has the remarkable ability to make his fingers dance over the keys and his music reflects this - delicate yet so on tune. His Quartet compliments him perfectly.
Dave McMurray. Underrated talent. He has played with Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Hallyday, Gladys Knight, Albert King, Nancy Wilson, KEM, Bootsy Collins, Herbie Hancock, among many others.

That is really the kind of song that gives us the goose bumps no matter how many times we listen to it. That's what I call a masterpiece.
right on! lasts forever!
Así es....una obra maestra. Solo se puede lograr una grabación de este tipo con la presencia de una fuerza espiritual q la produzca desde el corazón.

I'm from sa, 19 years old, our teacher played this to us in class and I had to come back again and listen on my own😍😍
You obviously have an appreciation for good music, trust me, I have been listening to this song every night for many years, and I never tire of it!

Bob James never touched perfection like this before. 😊
Love Bob James FOR YEARS and now my daughter who grew up listening to Mr J plays his music for her 1 year old son!!! Class never goes out of style!
Jazz is my game, this is G nothing beats the cool sounds so relaxing in from Johannesburg South Africa. Anyone else
Bob James is truly gifted. This is one of my favorite arrangements. I could listen to it 24/7.
Buttery Smooth
That bassline is so smooth 💎
Agree with you 💯. Quiet and baaaad, all rolled into one! Gives you all the feels.
😊❤❤
Bob James is one of the coolest dudes ever and I love that he’s embraced his place in Hip Hop culture.
Finesse ! in short !

The drummer and Bass player were born to play together. Not taking anything from none of them because they are all beyond this world!!!
Bass player and drummer are always the key. So many ppl never knew that.
@@demetrismarshall8911 very true! they carry the band!
Absolutely. That rhythm section is locked down
For some of us, music helps us through life especially quality stuff like this 😊.

The music of Bob James is pure quality 100%. And elegant compositions. Make me feel happy !
Bob James is one of the Gods Jazz Fusion Pianists like Joe Sample, Dave Grusin, David Benoit, Chick Corea and Ramsey Lewis. Those 70s jazz music never dies.
Totally agree
Certainly. And you can probably add George Duke to that mix.
oh yes
And Richard Tee!
Amen!
Great playing everyone. I like chatting with Bob James. My father Gary plays bass on the Grover version, Roberta version, and Bob James version.
Sorry to hear your Dad has passed. His tone on the Bob James LPs from the '70's was one of the things that inspired me to switch from guitar to bass. His playing was tasteful and exquisite yet powerful. I wish I could have thanked him in person for all of the happiness his music brought me.

Kind words. You humble me. Great to hear of your success with music. Respect and support to you and your family. Shout back anytime.
Don't stop playing this kind of music pease! We all need it at this time we're living in .

Lots of them are absolutely useless.
Wow - beautiful comment. Thanks for that. I'm a school teacher who loves music but cannot play a thing. I appreciate those who can. Amazing performance!
Word.☝️
Father of keyboards! A super talented keyboardist with many Grammy Awards and millions of copies sold out!
God! This music just lifts my spirits... I can’t help but to feel lighter!
I agree been listening to this particular arrangement for years I become very emotional each and every time I hear it played.
I love how they just come out and groove. None of that fanfare, don't care what they have on, just play and have a good time doing it.
You won't find this type of artists any more this is legends
Who is listening this now? better to listen nice music while we're lockdown here in the Philippines due to NCOV 19. Stay Safe every one. God bless
same here! pero nasa Malaysia! Happy Easter!
@bram syamith every year we go to enjoy Java Jazz! lucky no lockdown yet when it happened this year!
