czarivey ..I'm pretty aware of all of Bob James' output since 1980.
It's just that I moved on to primarily bop, bebop, hard bop and straight-ahead jazz.
All of Bob James' output since then as a sideman and leader has been of the smooth jazz variety, and I've moved on from that 40 years ago. Smooth jazz was where the money was at.
Any Bob James fan can spot his sound signature in a minute if he's in the session, I haven't listened to him since the 80's.
