Smooth Jazz

Search: Where the wind blows free - James- Bob
by: Various Artists

Release Date
Of the 27 tracks on offer here a minimum of 11 are covers and some of the originals are from way back ie Grover Washington and Earl Klugh before the term Smooth Jazz had been dreamt up.

Dont get me wrong you get great musicians here and side one showcases some of the very best including Boney James, Rick Braun, Pieces of a Dream, Fourplay and the Rippingtons, where the CD falls down is side two where 10 0f the 13 tracks are from 1980 and before and would have probably fallen into the Jazz Funk category.

If you are looking to try a smooth jazz album I would recommend hunting down old Jazz FM compliations which are going very cheap on this site eg 101 Eastbound a penny, a bargain with more upto date artists.

An Anthology

Search: Where the wind blows free - James- Bob
by: Bob James

Release Date January 29, 2001
This friendly priced collection spans 13 albums of the world famous jazz keyboard specialist. However something is missing! The Bob James version of Roberta Flack's hit "Feel like making love" that started his world wide popularity is not on the album. Of course (An) Anthology never pretends to be a greatest hits collection but with that one extra song it could have been too! Now you must also buy the 1974 album One. Never the less a really rich collection, in playing time and sound too. To be played loud or low.
