Bob James

𝘽𝙤𝙗 𝙅𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨’ “𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙎𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣” finds him expanding the template once more — a confident blend of jazz fusion, orchestral touches and smooth, mid-tempo funk that highlights both compositional detail and studio finesse.

Tracks unfold with crisp rhythmic definition, shimmering keys and subtly dramatic arrangements that showcase James’ gift for balancing sophistication with easy movement. The grooves stay tight but never overcrowded, giving the melodies space to breathe and the band room to glide.

Elegant, warm and impeccably arranged, “Lucky Seven” stands as another high point in his classic run — pure late-70s jazz-funk refinement from a master in full flow.
