Bob James -- One (2021 Remastered) (SACD)
- Product Description

- Product Details

First released in 1974, One is the second solo album by jazz keyboardist Bob James. Bob enlisted a string of experienced Jazz players including Steve Gadd and Idris Muhammad on drums, Grover Washington on Sax and Gary King on bass. Led by the maestro himself on keyboards, One is a lush, experimental Jazz Funk record, excitingly hovering at the forefront of where music can take your soul. Produced by Creed Taylor and recorded at the famous Van Gelder Studios, the record is a monument of progressive musical greatness. It was an important album in the early smooth jazz genre and is famous for its end track, ‘Nautilus’ which became important to hip-hop as one of the most sampled tracks in American music.
In the 46 years since the release of One, producers have interpolated or sampled ‘Nautilus’ over 350 times. This is a brilliantly written and performed genre- defying set of superb tracks. ‘In The Garden’ and ‘Night on Bald Mountain’ are wonderful adaptations of two very different pieces of classical music - totally engaging for anyone who appreciates complex arrangements made funky and jazzy and played with consummate musicianship. ‘Soulero’ is a wonderful bolero-style piece, building layers of beautiful tones and rhythms.
evosound has remastered the album using hi-resolution digital transfers from the original analogue master tapes and is now available as a hybrid Stereo SACD. The hybrid SACD plays on both SACD and regular CD Players.

Released in 1999 by the noted audiophile label Chesky Records, The Feeling’s Back showed that flugelhorn maestro Chuck Mangione - renowned for his trademark fedora hat and warm melodic lyricism - was still a force to be reckoned with in the jazz world. The son of an Italian American greengrocer, Rochester-born Mangione played hardbop in a group with his piano-playing brother before going solo in the mid-1960s. In 1978, he joined a small list of chart-busting elite jazz instrumentalists when h...
