Bob James, Hip-Hop’s Unlikely Godfather
by Veritas on Nov.01, 2013, under Press &Reviews
You’d think after (accidentally) creating “Nautilus,” Bob James would take it easy for the remainder of his musical career, content with composing one of the most sampled tunes in music. He’s not though, not by a damn sight. “Nautilus” aside, there are many other contributions to music that he’s made and is still making. Fondling the keys of his Fender Rhodes in the 1970s led to him create the jazz subgenre fusion/smooth jazz, which he’s been deemed the father of.
All that easy listening got chopped up into villainous, threatening soundscapes by The RZA, Large Professor, and Eric B to create some of hip-hop’s most famous neck-snapping beats. Even out west, Souls of Mischief were stepping away from P Funk heavy sounds and using songs like James’ “Angela” to create a new wave in California rap.
Bob James & David Sanborn Speak Volumes through Music as St. Cecilia Music Center’s 2013 Great Artists
by Veritas on Oct.26, 2013, under Press &Reviews
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – What sets jazz apart from other forms of American music is it’s a conversation that happens in real time.
Saxophonist David Sanborn and pianist Bob James had a lot to say at St. Cecilia Music Center on Thursday.
Sanborn and James were in Grand Rapids as St. Cecilia’s 2013 Great Artists, an annual gala event that’s brought the likes of Itzhak Perlman, James, Galway, Victor Borge, Denyce Graves and Tony Bennett to Royce Auditorium.
With drummer Steve Gadd and bassist James Genus, the quartet opened St. Cecilia Music Center’s 130th season to an enthusiastic, sold-out audience.
