Mr. Bob I am very pleased to have possibility to wright to you. May be I am happy. I began to study the jazz history from my middle teens.
The subject is that your music is therapeutic. Not only melody and improvisation is important I think and not only the rythm which you have perfect. There is special thing called aura that you have such a kind.
there are people who have psychiatric problem called "voices". Your music have therapeutic effect. You have to know that, probably you know. I feel that. It becomes from your deep humanity and I feel that instead that I don't know you.
There are compositions in your albums wich contains such a kind voices, don't know is this a child or a girls, such a sweetnes, quietness And there are no words wich sometimes are bothering. It's rest. Thanks.
I'm not a medical man, but I know subject that I describe.
Good luck
Your music makes the world kind.
Thanks a lot!
Constantin Eristavi - Saturday, August 15th, 2009

Carsten Deckert - Monday, May 4th, 2009
Dear Mr. James,
I discovered your music when I was looking for the original behind Run-DMC´s "Peter Piper" and bought the Legendary Albums-edition of your first four albums. From then on I was hooked and started to collect your albums (and of course Fourplay).

I am looking forward to the BJ McSwift project. So many hiphop artist have sampled your music. And with this project you go full circle and give hiphop the BJ treatment. I hope you will use a lot of hiphop beats and scratches for this one.

Yours
Carsten

I had the chance to meet you and the guys at the Capital Jazz Fest in Columbia, Maryland. You could not have been more amiable.
I have been a fan since the first number became the fifth coin...Foxx...hotdog...
Angels in Shanghai is just as lovely and soothing as any that you have produced.
Thank you for continuing to provide your fans with the depth of your musical adventures and brilliance.

With my best regards from Turkey...
Gary Kidd - Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Have loved your music since your theme for the TV show Taxi. While i cannot claim to have all your albums, i do have you on CD, cassettes and LP's. Fourplay is exellent and isn't TC the best?
Jeff Miller - Friday, August 29th, 2008
MeThinks that was a bit harsh, and I apologize Bob, James and all those who feel I might've come on too strong there.(I'll blame it on too much coffee) Like you all, I'm very passionate about my Bob James music, and I take it mucho seriously. I want it all to be as amazing as Nautilus and the Touchdown LP.
I honestly think 'Bring It On' represents a bold move in a new direction for BJ and I'm totally interested more of this trend, but less smooth. I applaud BJ's ambition to do something different. That's why he's the man. YOU are the original trailblazer, BJ, and one THE pioneers in jazz. I just think you should break free of the constraints of the smooth jazz format that you helped originate. It's begun to define you, rather than you, it, Clearly, you still have an immense amount of potential to your best work yet, as undefined. -JAM
Jeff Miller - Friday, August 29th, 2008
OK, Cap'n BJ, the best part of this new track 'Bring It On', is the first 17.5 seconds of totally classic and promising BJ GOLD, then it descends rapidly back into prdictable, albeit above average smooth Jazz territory. The DJ 'scratch' work sounds sadly dated, like 1997. The drum machine beat is totally smooth-jazz lame, and the sax is WAY too smooth. There's too much piano and Casio keyboard. I really wish you'd just drop all that smooth jazz crap and get all Fender-Rhodes on us again, and if you want to make some seriously dirty DJ grooves, just groove it yourself on the old Electric Piano and sample with Danger Mouse instead or at least take a cue from, Praful. He's actually blazing new trails with his sonic blend of electronic/prog and jazz in a very tasteful, provocative way, when most of the smooth jazz coming out these days is a vast wasteland of safe, predictable, middling beats and superclean grooves. Also listen to Beck's latest and his work with the Dust Bros.
madxc - Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I've been a fan of yours since my highschool days in the 1970s. Listening to WJR from Detroit, I was first turned on to you by listening to Bob James Two. I was actually living in northern Indiana, but was able to pick up WJR there. Since then, I've been a fan. I "DJed" in my hometown, playing your CDs quite often. Continue the creative, fresh take on "jazz" and improvisitional music. Thanks!
Fabian Velasco - Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Cynthia Whitaker - Saturday, April 19th, 2008
Bob - I met your lovely wife on a flight from Detroit to Traverse City tonight. Judy and I talked of many things ("older women" stuff) but she told me about you and your music. I had heard your name recently on a radio ad that had to do with a fund raiser, so when Judy mentioned your name and I recognized it, I decided that after I returned home, I would "google" you. When I heard your music on the internet via RealPlay, I loved it. But as much as I loved your music and admire your accomplishments, I must say that, although we are mutual UM grads and music lovers, I am most impressed by your wife, Judy. You are a very lucky man.

Best regards and safe travels,

Hi Bob! We're a small designer company in Malaysia and we were going through sound clips for our mini web adverts. I heard a brief clip from "angela" and absolutely fell in love with the tune!

Sakhe Mali - Friday, March 7th, 2008
Hey, I think the name BJ McSwift is fantastic! This is what I know and like you for,creativeness. I can't wait to hear this new trio in action. Turntables, Sax, and the Piano wow! Keep making the good music. Are you ever planning on releasing/publishing Angels Of Shangai in South Africa? I would love to hear that album, one of your recent innovations.
Ruben van Coevorden - Thursday, March 6th, 2008
"You're as right as rain", was the very first musical piece of Bob James I ever herad on my radio being up late at night with my head stuck in textbooks for my medical studies. BJ's music really pulled me through! I have bought every single album ever since (From BJ one, Two, Three, four etc.etc.etc). When I visited Japan some 25 years ago I noticed that there would be a concert of BJ in Tokyo. (This was the time that the theme of "Taxi"was released). Immediately I bought tickets and I found myself in a concerthall filled only with Japanese and only 2 "Gayjin", me and an American. The Japanese listened very quietly to BJ's music and the two weterners were the only ones that couldn't sit still. We were having a ball! I had some time to google around and why not googled for my musical hero and lo and behold there was this website! Fantastic!
Alberto Skotinio - Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
Very good website you have here, After the visit I put my step in to your guestbook.
Keith Goosby - Monday, February 25th, 2008
My first date with my now wife was to your 1978 San Diego concert. We will be married 29 years on 3 March 2008, and for our 30th in 2009 we will be looking for a Bob James concert closest to that date. Where ever it is, we will make every attempt to be there. My all time favorite (which you did not play that night) was and still is, "You're As Right As Rain," which my wife is. Keep it up, maybe we will look for your concert around our 40th as well!!
Steve Roberts - Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Bob, Much Love & Respect my Brother!!! I have been enjoying your music since the early 70's and have been fortunate to see you perform many times thru the years (last time in your hometown of Marshall Missouri in September 2004). You will always hold a special place in my Heart. Your music has transformed my world and I especially cherish the early CTI years (Bob James I II & III) with Grover Washington, Eric Gale, Gary King, Harvey Mason & Ralph McDonald. You still, however, rock the world with Fourplay. Keep on Keepin on and Best wishes to you & your family. Peace & Love,

Walt Young - Monday, May 14th, 2007
Bob,kudos to you and the Angels of Shanghai for an exquisite musical performance at the IMAC in Huntington,LI on May 5th. You said it all when you commented on stage about how Angela or "The Theme From Taxi" reminded one of the Angels of an old Chinese folk song. I am in wonderment by the universal appeal of your music. The comments from your fan base located in all corners of the world are a testament to this appeal. By fusing your incredible concept of music with the enchantment of the East you have done what few statesmen heretofore have not...brought our divergent cultures together for one harmonious place and space in time. I believe that God lives through us and he(or she)has given you the gift of music to help heal those whose good fortune it is to discover what you have to offer. I am eternally grateful and humbled to be included in this exclusive club for through your constantly evolving music I continue to be inspired to be a good human being. The best of health to you and your family and keep the music coming. I'm all ears!

Hi Bob James & Crew,

Massive thank you for the 'Angels of Shanghai' project from Manchester, England.

For someone like me having lived in the Far East, it is without doubts the best that 'Bob James' as done, the symbiosis between East & West. It transports me to different parallel's.

Well done. let's have more!

Hello all

The interesting name of a site - bobjames.com how you managed to get such beautiful name of the domain?
Very interesting site though there is no couple of sections. But section this here very much even by the way.

Thanks for the info, bobjames.com!
patrick newman - Sunday, May 6th, 2007
Finally, Mr James, I will see you again in concert, June 2 at Merriwether Post in Columbia, Md. The last time was 1977, I think, at Constitution Hall, in D.C. right after "3", It was a privillege! Bob, I have had a tough life, I've, shall we say, been knocked around a bit, and your music has always been there, a joy to be experienced time and time again. The first 8 albulms I konw note for note, no kidding. Anyway, I'm thrilled to finally get to see you again, Ive been talking about it for many years, but I always seem to be down on my luck when you come around, not this time. Hope you bring youre "A" game! Your grateful and loyal fan, Patrick
Amarilis Torres - Saturday, May 5th, 2007
Hi! I'm a female fan from Puerto Rico. I have known your music since I was 16 yrs. old. (Now I'm 46!). The first album I listen to was "Heads", from a special cousin I have in Mexico that is musician. I fell in love with your music since then. The "Angels of Shanghai" is beautiful, inspirational; I can say, is like "listening to angels." I love the song "Endless time"... When will you come to visit Puerto Rico? It would be great to have a concert here. Congratulations for this great album! As all you do, Excellent! Keep on doing special music, we need that!

Love your music, haven't tried the wine yet, but can't wait. Keep up the great music and art!!! Love to you and yours, God bless, Maggie W
Gerard Elsinga - Wednesday, April 11th, 2007
Hello Bob it's been a while since I saw you a the North Sea Jazz but the memory is still fresh. I listened a couple c.d's of yours.and a few of Andreas Vollenweider . I wondered why there has never been a connection between the two of you. I think you got a lot in common. But that's only the opinion of a fan who loves the best of both worlds. I see forward to your next album. Manny regards from Winsum (Netherlands).
Brayland Johnson - Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I have been a huge fan of your music for the past 30 years.Living in a small town just outside of Manchester people often ask me who this Bob James is ? You will be pleased to know i have converted many of them to what i consider is music at its very best. I was lucky enough a few years back to catch your concert in Manchester which was fantastic. Good luck with your future projects and keep up the good work

Dear Bob,
I was first introduced to your music while watching "Taxi". Your gift has been a blessing to me ever since, and I thought it was time to say thanks. I have much more to say, but I should save something for my next message. May God bless you always.

Dear Mr. James-
I have been listening to you since I was 14 years old. Introduced to your music by my big sista'. I am just a hard working black girl in Northern Cali., but your music has gotten me through so many hard times. Thank you for being Bob James. An amazing person with an incredible talent!!!
p.s.- you probably won't remember but I saw you in San Francisco many years ago and you spoke to my grandmother and she never forgot talking with you. Also, I brought you a nickel from Canada in honor of your alblum "Head". I love you in the right way - not a crazy way, and appreciate all that you do for jazz and music in general. The last time I saw you was at Yoshi's, in Oakland, Ca. When you comin' again?
ogut (again) - Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

I have almost all of your albums and CD's (including Fourplay) and have seen/heard you in several concerts. Your music never grows old! By the way, I still think you should have named your 12th
album "Boxcars!" (Mentioned it to you b4.) Now I have a copy of your DVD: "Montreux Jazz Festival 1985" which will serve to remind me of some of your old great concerts. With Gary King! Wow! Will you be returning to the Western PA / Eastern OH area?
Jon Stout - Thursday, December 21st, 2006
Just bought an ipod and found myself gravitating to your albums over and over. Think I'll buy a few more. Thanks for the great jazz.
Anthony Azaola - Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

My dad (who lives in India, and is a big fan) has asked me (I live in the US) to try and get a few songs.

He has given me the names and/or parts of the lyrics of a song. I hope you can help me find these songs for him.

They are:
1. steamin feeling
2. chances are I'll never find. Flip away from your love.
3. tata ra rub

Hello, I am a civil servant in India and have been so for the past 16 yrs. Have a wife and a kid but suffer from loneliness and melancholia (not very unwelcome) from time to time. Your music has affected and keeps on affecting me very much. I also like Earl Klugh and Lee Ritenour a lot. Please keep on bringing out those masterpieces. I have listened to Urban Flamingo and appreciate it a lot. I dont know whether you'll read this but it makes living worthwhile. Thanks a lot.

Dear Bob, I was first introduced to your unique sound with the obssesion album and can gladly say i've been a fan ever since! I was only 17 or 18 when i got the obssesion album and it changed my life. Ever since then whenever my thoughts become jumbled and life gets a little hectic i just pop in a jazz c.d. and realize that in life you must do one thing at a time! Thank you for helping me to become a thinker!

Telford Cazimero - Sunday, November 12th, 2006
Bought your "Greatest Hits" CD set about a year & a half ago and since I have a long commute I listen to it often, several times each & everyday. Virtuosity! CD's have come & gone and it's still at the top of my playlist. There is so much going on in each note and it's placement. If I was on a deserted island and could only have one CD, it would be this one...it has taught me how to listen to every other piece of music since, no matter what it is. God Bless you, Bob.
P.S. If you ever make it to Hawaii...please let me know...

Hi Bob, I am truly humbled to be given the chance to leave this message. I have a request - do you have a manuscript copy of "Autumn Nocturne" - I need to learn it as it helped me through a really difficult episode in my life and I would love to play it - I would also like you to have a token of my esteem in return - an album I have recorded with 15 young scottish musicians of my own material and arrangements - scots trad meets the rest of the world!
I would love for you to give me the benefit of your genius with regard to arranging in particular.....enough daydreaming, with best wishes,

Harris Playfair,

Hello Bob, I just wanted to let you know that I have truly been inspired by your music. I can't say that I have been a fan forever considering I've only just recently discovered your musical genius.Although I remember having the taxi theme playing in my head when I was younger, that was the best part of the show. Honestly I wish I had realized your work existed sooner but that just means I now have much to listen to. Your song nautilus is quite possibly the most mezmerizing piece that I've ever heard. Also if you've never heard radiohead's amnesiac album I would definitely recommend it, not that it's similar it just takes you to another mental state just like nautilus. Continue inspiring.
reinimat - Monday, September 25th, 2006

The world is blessed to have wonderful artists like you. You have made me love the sound of the piano, especially when playing "Restless". I enjoy every note you play. Keep playing your music to make the world a better place.

South Africans enjoyed your show here.
La Jeanna Parker - Saturday, August 19th, 2006
I have been a fan of yours for years. I catch your show whenever you are in the Philadelphia area and believe me, I love every minute of it. I still play your first 12 albums as if they came out yesterday. It's all still good! Please, keep up the great music.
Mikhail Merican - Saturday, August 19th, 2006
Dear Sir,
Hello from Kuala Lumpur! I hope you all had a great time in our country because we truly enjoyed your show! I am 11 years old and trying my very best to learn more about music. I started my musical journey when I was 3 at Yamaha Junior course. I'm on my fourth grade now in piano and started learning how to play the drums recently. I was first inspired by my uncle Lewis Pragasam and my mother Jasmine who actually sang some of your songs on Jack Lee's show.My sister Izabelle who is 6 years old didn't get to watch your amazing performance because she still too young but we are all familiar with all your CDs because we always play it everytime we go for holiday trips.Now that its school holiday again,we are happy that we will get to hear more from your new album on our next vacation trip! Thank you for making great music like that! Remember her small violin that you signed? She is a great player and singer too. She had her concert on the same stage you had your show. Mom was also featured for the Jazz and world music series last time. I hope to perform in a place like that someday.hopefully with all of you...
Like my mom, I am also involved in tv shows and theatre and was actually successfully chosen for the west end production of Oliver. That was fun! I think your acting on stage was also fantastic.Its amazing how you can be focused and funny at the same time...Awesome!!!!!!!!
I read that you play golf?
I hope you get to swing it after your tour! My handicap is 25 and I hope to play with you when you come down to K.L. again. My golf club is more that a century old and the green course is perfect! Some of the golf giants played there for the Malaysian open. Call me on this no. for a round of golf okay. Please send my regards to the great Sir Harvey and say I'm going to get my drumset this month...Hooraay
to the Gifted Sir Larry...I'm trying my best to get the sound and fingering right and to the soulful and one and only Sir Nathan...My sister,Izabelle wld like to thank him for the pick and sends her hugs and butterfly kisses...!!!?????
Hope to see you all again masters.May the force of music be with you....... God bless.
Muhammad Dijatmika Ferry - Monday, August 14th, 2006

An-young-ha-se-yo!!(Hello in Korean) My name is Hyesook from Seoul, Korea. Tonight I really enjoyed fourplay's third live in Seoul. It was extremely amazing!! (2005 live in Seoul was also Fantastic!) But on the concert end, I was just looking at the people shaking hands with you with envious eyes. (Gee, I was on the second floor!) By the way, I was very sorry that I missed your live in Seoul 2006. (At that time, I was in Canada.ㅜ.ㅜ) I'd appreciate it if you come again and play 'Play with Fire' and 'Love is Where'. I really love them! And I also L.O.V.E your magnificent play and humorous gesture you showed tonight. THANK YOU for your revisit to Korea and I hope you will be able to come again soon! GOOD LUCK with fourplay's new album 'fourplay X'!

Aaron ' Music Mann ' McCombs - Monday, July 24th, 2006
Bob James is was the first Jazz artist I purchased when i decided to expand my love for different music. I never knew that Bob, has influenced so many Hip Hop artists and his music has been sampled so many times. While i have just about every Bob James recording, i am such a fan of Bob's first 3 albums, One, Two and Three. Women of Ireland is problably my favorite. Keep doin what cha doin'Bob, you are the man. Oh yeah, here's an Idea, Bob James does covers and re-arranges some hip hop songs for an album called " Bob Bites Back "..... I'd love to hear Bob James plays PM Dawn's " Set adrift on Memory Bliss. That would be awesome. Continued success to Bob James. No One plays the keys like BOB.

Hi Bob! I like the new web site. I also love the new CD. I just CAN'T get "Choose Me" and "Skidaway" out of my head! I am overjoyed to see that the majority of your discography is still in print. Keep up the excellent work!

Dear Bob and family, Another FANTASTIC concert at MCG in Pittsburgh, Pa. LOVE the Urban Flamingo songs! We had the same front row seats we had last time you were here, and the experience is one that will last a lifetime! GREAT!! What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Have a great year with your family and your music, art and fine wine!! Maggie W

Mr Bob James,

Just thought that I let you know that I spent many a night studying for my BBA degree at Western Illinois U (Macomb, IL)during June 1980 until graduation in July 1983. Was introduced to your music after listening to a friend's tape (in particular, FARANDOLE), prior to leaving for USA. My all time hit favourite was KARI (with Earl Klugh)and also the theme from TAXI. Yes, its been a while. Hope that you can make the trip to Malaysia sometime. Since 3 (?) years ago, there is a Malaysian Rainforest Festival every year. The first ever Jazz festival in Kuala Lumpur was done in 1980 and it featured Sadao Watanabe. Sorry for being nostalgic, your songs brings back many memories during Undergraduate days at Western. My personal 'coup' was persuading WIUM to present '1 hour with Bob James'. This was sometime in late 1982. Unfortunately, after much wear, the 'live' taped radio recording went bust. Anyway, hope to source for these vintage hits on the net. God Bless.

"Good Vibes" Blessings and Greetings, Bob!
Just got your Urban Flamingo CD, and I love it! Congrats for another fine new music debut! I've been with you since the 1, 2, 3, 4, "Heads" and, yes, the "Hot Dog" album (Smile), to this present day! "Shepherd's Song" remains in my heart and soul. "Holla back" when you're near the 'Windy City' called Chicago! Much Love and Peace!

Mr. James I have fond memories of your music through a lot of periods of my life I really enjoyed all of your music ever since I was introduced to you in 1978. I think you are one of the most if not the most talented pianist I've heard. I can see why a lot of hip hop artists have sampled some of your music such as nautilus for example. It's very good to see you still twinkling the ivory all these years. I have most of your albums in it's original vinyl packages. But there is a lot that I don't have thanks to the invention of the C.D. But I'm glad to be a part of your website in a little way. Would be a dream to be in the studio with you just to observe. Thanks alot for your music.

Dave Osborn - Tuesday, March 28th, 2006
Bob,

I was raised on WJZZ in Detroit and saw many of your concerts at Meadowbrook and elsewhere with my dad when I was just a kid 25 years ago.

My dad died in 1995 but whenever I hear one of your songs (which is often), I think of the great moments with my father and the connection with your music.

I have XM Radio now and heard "Choose Me" for the first time and thought how my dad would've loved that song.

Your music makes me smile.

You are a true musical genius and I've already begun raising my granddaughter on Bob James jazz. Unlike many musicians, you're only getting better and better through the years.

I hope to see you in Southwest Florida sometime soon.

Bob James!..i was introduced to your music in Africa [Ghana] and have followed through ever since,your works gives a whole new perspective to the current state of jazz. Unfortunately, i'm yet to have a feel of your live shows, Hope to catch up with you or Fourplay on tour somewhere on the Eastcoast this summer, The best to ever did it, BJ. As we say in Ghana "ayekoo"..that is "well done"
Jan Cunningham - Saturday, March 18th, 2006
Bob you are just the absolute coolest! Saw you in Birmingham, MI last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it! So glad you are now a Michigander!
Dave Cherry - Friday, March 17th, 2006
Bob its time for a album with your friend Alexander Zonjic. The samples I have heard from his album Seldom Blue plus your new album Urban Flamingo just make it a necessity that you do an album together.
Mervin Moses - Monday, March 13th, 2006
Bob James ...you're a living legend. I thoroughly enjoyed your show with the one of the most talented jazz outfits ever to roam this universe, Four Play, in CapeTown Nov 2005. It's been an honour and priviledge to have seen you guys perform live.

Just awaiting the release of the DVD that was recorded during the show ... when can we exspect the release?

Cheers

Claudia - Sunday, March 12th, 2006

Ron Ivory - Saturday, March 4th, 2006
Bob, I've always loved your music and it inspires me even still. I love also going back to listen to your earlier albums which also brings fond memories. I am also a keyboardist and find myself pattering my solos around your style. I do have a question though. My bassist and I were discussing your music one day and wondered whatever happenend to bassist Gary King from your earlier recordings? Is he still with us? Thanks for the music!
Koni Müller - Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Hello Bob,
you are just super,especially when you're at the piano.Each time I listen to any of your works I am left wondering as to how a human could play the piano so perfectly.My alltime favourite of your works is JOYRIDE.Keep up the good work and may God grant you longlife so we will listen to you in a longtime to come.
By the way when will you come to Ghana? I hope it will be soon.Pls keep me posted.
Issac Banks - Monday, November 14th, 2005
Bob James,
My name is Issac from Greensboro N.C. Let me say I am huge fan of you & the guys and I know about Larry Carlton since he know longer with the band of Fourplay. If need a new guitarist member to join is Jamie Walters he can be in your band of Fourplay soon until 2006. But I was wondering if you like to come to the event of the YWCA sunshine club on Nov. 18th 2005. at 6:30pm - 8;30pm if you can make it to Greensboro N.C. If you made it to the event of the Thanksgiving Dinner Celebration. If you bring some musicians to play a couple of songs which is "AFTER THE DANCE" feat. El DeBarge. Bobby you are the best piano ever. If can come & make it to the USA. New Empire of the Saturn is doing solo projects. So I know a lot of songs Bob. If you tell members of FOURPLAY of three of two of them. HELLO to them for me. Also George Benson. & Kenny G. I said hi for me. Please email me is go to www.yahoo.com
GOOD LUCK with your music.
I'll see you soon!
Randall Carr - Tuesday, November 8th, 2005
Thank you for an absolute brilliant show here in Cape Town (Nov 07) and for the special memories left behind. To you, Bob, one of my greatest pianists and composers, THANK YOU. Travel well to Bangkok and hope to see on our shores again.
George Troupe - Monday, November 7th, 2005
I just got home from Fourplay's second night show here in Cape Town. I haven't been so knocked out since George Benson and Kenny G played together on stage here a few years ago! The artistry displayed tonight defies description, by all four members. We were lucky to witness this display of virtuosity being filmed for DVD. Now the big question is, how long do we have to wait for it's release? Great show Bob, a bargain at 10 times the price!
