Guest Talks With Tracey Arbon

It was such a privilege to speak with legendary Jazz pianist Bob James for our Guest Talks feature. Bob James has a long and extensive career in music with 58 albums to date and after a long hiatus is releasing his latest album in trio format, 'Espresso'. Discovered by the great Quincy Jones in 1963, it wasn't long after James had began his quest for greatness with countless awards including multiple-GRAMMY® Awards, worked with the likes of Creed Taylor, working on albums for artists like Hank Crawford, Grover Washington, Jr, among others. While with CTI, James found great popular success overseeing significant hits for Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Maynard Ferguson, and Kenny Loggins.Long after establishing himself as one of America’s most accomplished composers, arrangers and instrumentalists, multiple-GRAMMY® Award-winner Bob James achieves his long-time ambition to return to the trio format he last utilized on 2004’s Take It From The Top, and embraced as an up-and-coming artist. Scheduled to release August 31
