Bob James Jams


I have a slight Bob James obsession. In my collage days, when I used to chill out to this stuff, people would walk into my dorm and ask me why I was listening to 70’s porn music.
Bob James has been one of the most sought after musicians of the 70’s/80’s jazz/funk sound by Hip Hop and Electronic producers searching for the ultimate sample. If you go through is music catalog you will find little snippets here and there that have been sampled over and over.
Here are are few of my jams:
Bob James – Take Me To The Mardi Gras by TonyAdams
Westchester Lady – Bob James by USM Publishing

Bob James – Heads by Mabeergé

Tappan Zee – Bob James by USM Publishing

TOP JAM: Bob James – Nautilus


I can’t even begin to explain what this jam means to me.  It is one of my TOP JAMS of all time.  A top ten.  Listening to it fills me with a feeling of whimsy and nostalgia.  I discovered this jam in my high-school days and spent a lot of time daydreaming to it.  A synth, jazz, funk master piece by the one and only Bob James.
