Bob James
6 concerts
Genre: Jazz
The career of Bob James is long, varied, and continues to evolve at every turn. From his first days in Marshall, Missouri, the music of Bob James has captivated audiences throughout the world. Discovered by Quincy Jones at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival in 1963, James recorded his first solo album, Bold Conceptions, that year for Mercury Records.
58 albums and innumerable awards would follow through five decades. He honed his skills working with Creed Taylor, working on albums for artists like Hank Crawford, Grover Washington, Jr., among others. While with CTI, James found great popular success overseeing significant hits for Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Maynard Ferguson, and Kenny Loggins.
James is recognized as one of the progenitors of smooth jazz; however, his music has also had a profound effect on the history of hip hop music, having been sampled often. Two of James's songs, Nautilus from 1974's One and Take Me to the Mardi Gras from 1975's Two, are among the most sampled in hip hop history. According to whosampled.com, Nautilus and Take Me to Mardi Gras have been sampled in thirty-two and forty-three hip-hop recordings, respectively.
Dinner or two-drink minimum required in addition to the tickets, plus a $0.49 music royalty fee per patron. Doors open for dinner 1 1/2 hour before the first show and 1/2 hour before the second show if there is a second show. Except for Private Events. Ticket sales are final. Catalina's Management
