Bob James, of Fourplay and CTI fame, is the subject of a Japanese Public Television documentary called “Hearts Together.” 

The beginning of the story is Bob’s work with amateur musicians from earthquake-stricken Northeast Japan a few months after the disaster.  But that work, and a song Bob wrote for the project, “Put Our Hearts Together” have spawned many more positive events and collaborations, which have been added to the story (and the documentary).

The latest chapter in the story will be the local premier of the documentary–including music, a film crew from Japan, and much more–on Sunday 8/12/2013 at the State Theater in Traverse City, MI.
