Bob James is an integral part of the American music scene, and has influenced generations of players. An auspicious discovery by Quincy Jones in 1962 at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival resulted in his first solo album "Bold Conceptions", and soon after that a 5 year stint as pianist with the legendary Sarah Vaughan. His career has spanned five decades of countless recording sessions and tours with major jazz figures, nearly 40 solo albums, two Grammy awards, and more than twenty years with the iconic contemporary jazz group Fourplay. His solo, duet, trio and collaborative albums have been widely acclaimed, and his original compositions like ‘Angela, Theme From Taxi,’ have become ingrained in the American cultural soundtrack. His collaborations, “The Angels of Shanghai” & most recently "Botero" with Korean jazz guitarist Jack Lee have helped redefine World Music, and his tours have taken him repeatedly around the globe and the to the top of the music charts.
