Bob James Drops First Trio CD As A Leader in Over a Decade

(Evosound/Evolution Music Group)
A Record Reflection by A. Scott Galloway
It’s been 10 years since keyboardist/composer/arranger Bob James has released an album leading his trio. Eager to return to a largely acoustic three man set up that has unique challenges for each player, he dives in with an eclectic program of originals and covers for the audiophile Evosound label called Espresso – an interesting title as there is no song on the collection with that name and no song that is especially “fast” as to denote a caffeine rush.
