@@billba respectfully ,This is what inspired an era in HipHop when it was truly an art form! Poetical geniuses and producers were influenced by Bob James, Herbie Hancock, Roy Ayers, Freddy Hubbard ect! This so called rap music /culture of today has nothing to do with that time!
Hearing about the passing of Dave Sanborn brought me here. This was the first I had heard of Dave & was a fan from that point on. Thank you Bob for having Dave play an amazing solo. RIP Dave Sanborn
When I first heard this in '87 in high school, I played it so much, trying to figure out what he was doing. I decided then that arranging music was going to be my career. Thanks, Mr. James👍☺!

Night Crawler by Bob James is a BAD JAM after all these years & will be for many more years too! With David Sanborn on Sax & the late great Eric Gale on Guitar. Still a MONSTER track!
I was 19 years old when I heard this record in 77, I wore the grooves off of it. It was the first BJ record I learned to play, I thought it was such a beautiful mix of a groove. I am a Chicago kid but this has the NYC thing on it. I can not say enough about the composition and arranging of the Professor BJ aka Mr. Bob James. My fave musician in the whole wide world, bar none! Smooth jazz my ass, this man goes hard! And David Sanborn and Eric Gale...they worked this joint. Oh and I think Stevie Gadd kept that pocket tight and right.

My dad had this record. Post counting and farm yard animal sounds stuff and themes from westerns, this song was among my first musical memories. I bought him 'Straight Up' when I was 15 or 16 as a bit of a thank you.

I dont know if they have or would ever read these comments, but whoever created the visualizer for this deserves some major kudos. This is one of the best visualizers I've seen, especially with the part at 3:02 right before the sax solo
I remember hearing this on WJZZ in Detroit in the 70 s ...and just one of Bob James mellow cuts to chill folks out...its still a bossing cut and its 2021..
Bob James it's a man I like everything when he puts out. Because I like everything that he does!!!!!! If you have a nice dinner set nice people and you weren't good rhythms I really suggest Bob James among many other greats
Had the opportunity to see him free in the park in Kansas City he came twice with allstar band Gary. King. Bass Andy Newmarket drums Sanborn sax T he good old days
Cut my musical teeth on James, Laws, Hancock, Sandborn, Cobham and many more. I learned from the best in my own basement. Those where the days! No regrets!
You ain't said but a word. And I don't think you left anybody out of that lineup except possibly Donald Byrd. I was all over these musicians chillin with wall to wall stereo equipment, receivers, amps, turntables, pre-amps, fisher speakers, reel to reel with sound on sound and the best quervo money could buy. Lord I miss those days.
Con razón, me pareció muy familiar y nostálgico este hermoso sonido: es de 1977. Se utilizó mucho en las llamadas tandas publicitarias, de finales de los 70 y hasta mediados de los 80 en los diversos canales de televisión acá en Chile. Las tandas publicitarias, fueron breves anuncios de no más de 20 segundos, acompañadas de hermosas notas musicales de trabajos clásicos de Bob James, Herbie Hanckock, Pat Metheny, Jean Luc-Ponty, Chic Corea... Me traen bellos recuerdos de juventud. 👍🏿👍🏿🇨🇱🇨🇱
BOB JAMES ONE BAD MAN. THE BAND IS SUPER COOL. TAKES ME BACK IN THE DAY.WHEN I TURNED FRIENDS ON TO BJ THEY SAID MAN YOUR ARE ONE COOL DUDE. IWOULD SAY NO NOT ME BOB JAMES IS.♥️😎
I owned a copy of this magnificent release by Mr. Bob James when it first came out and listened to it endlessly. The musical lineup including Eric Gale speaks volumes. Outstanding performances by all the musicians involved.
Definitely appreciated when released. My crew were huge Bob James fans in high school and college in the late 70’s. Never missed his concerts when he came to town.
Hi everyone
From Malaysia
In 1977 I'm still 11 years old
Still listening to BB King
At 1984 it was my first Bob James album
The Genie
I believe The Genie was Bobby Lyle who is another underrated musician

Everybody tooks from Bob and has a touch from him...Thank you Bob !!!!!
I just learned how much this man actually contributed to hip-hop. 👏🏾

I've said it before, and I will say it again -Bob James is a bad man!!!! I love his music!!!
Feel like ive been missing out all these years. Always adored the Taxi theme but never looked further. Never too late
No words needed. Sitting back with a adult beverage soaking it in. #qualityNeverGetsOld

This album sold me my first stereo system back in 79….the good ol days

I was turned on as a college student, 1977, with Bob James III. OUTSTANDING 🎶
Definitely one of my favorite Bob James tunes!
My dad had this record. Post counting and farm yard animal sounds stuff and themes from westerns, this song was among my first musical memories. I bought him 'Straight Up' when I was 15 or 16 as a bit of a thank you.
That unmistakable bass line.
Been a fan of Bob since the late 70’s.
I heard this on KJazz 88.1 today.
Discovered this from Lupin the 3rd. Both versions are perfect!
How? Where? Please help me find the lupin version lol

This shit make you feel smooth as hell even just doin’ the dishes 😅 🔥
Still on fire after 42 years!
Wow...never realized it's age. I was 5 when it came out! I was raised well!
Phill still the best of Bob James
Stolen from the Funkadelics track "Youll like it too" made 1974.
Classic Bob
Always loved the Bob James album covers from this era. You knew you were in for treat when you put the headphones on .
Still enjoying this after all of these years. Music that never go out of style
This guy has jazzy bones, swing in his step and funky blood running through his veins. A truly amazing musician.
Bob is a consistent Master Arranger -- a real Maestro😊
Deserves all hiphop accolades🏆
Music will never be the same those were the best year’s ever
Bob James has always had a way to express all our human emotions within his music 🎶, just close your eyes and listen
Just passing Thur after all these years it still sounds good ✍️
Thank you mister James for your music. Greetings from Chile
Just heard this song today on KJAZZ and loved it immediately.
I dont know if they have or would ever read these comments, but whoever created the visualizer for this deserves some major kudos. This is one of the best visualizers I've seen, especially with the part at 3:02 right before the sax solo

I'm from Detroit, MI too😎!!! WJZZ-FM was the absolute GREATEST jazz radio station EVER😎✊💖💯!!!
Always a favorite! Acquired a deep appreciation for Jazz from am early age!
Yeah bob james doesnt know how to make a bad track, hes got it figured out, sounds killer on a good hiend system.
What a great memories, thank you Mr James.
Bob James it's a man I like everything when he puts out. Because I like everything that he does!!!!!! If you have a nice dinner set nice people and you weren't good rhythms I really suggest Bob James among many other greats
Nice to have an official audio of one of my definite favorites.
Had the opportunity to see him free in the park in Kansas City he came twice with allstar band Gary. King. Bass Andy Newmarket drums Sanborn sax T he good old days
soooooo cool that song
all time great Mr bob james!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy Newmark on drums!!!
I listen to a lot of hip hop, and Bob James is one of the most sampled artists in the history of the genre.
Grande Bob James !!!
One of the greatest. ❤🎉
TIMELESS “SOUND”!!
It's the Sanborn solo at 3:04 for me.
I’ve been looking for this song for a long long time. Lovely armory
I was a TV show creator , I would use this song as the opening theme for a TV series about a fictional news stringer in " Any major city USA " .
Cut my musical teeth on James, Laws, Hancock, Sandborn, Cobham and many more. I learned from the best in my own basement. Those where the days! No regrets!

I found this album on 8-track in an antique store recently, and really enjoy listening to it.
Oh my.. I have this LP!
if my old album could only TALK....i'd have to get outta town with a quickness!
Fixing lamb chops and jamming once again to this to spice up a relaxing weekend. Cheers, Mr. James!
God bless you. I hope you forever have lovely feelings like such moments.
I wanna come over
Eric Gale's solo though! 4:27
A great guitarist !
Night Crawler has a bad bass line horn section is good too.
Nautilus has a tough bass line as well
Mardi Gra has a bad drum tracm
Bob and this track are timeless. Glad I got a chance to see him, Sanborn & Marcus Miller on tour a few years ago.
I sampled this song when I was about 15 haha so glad I found it again. So funky I love it. That saxophone is mental.
That saxophonist is David Sanborn. 😎
straight up menace
Bob James's nightcrawlers was years before it's time, A truly old school steper's cut👍👍👍😄
Beautiful Jazz....blessed jam..... Bob James......BJ can be used in many ways. Thanks, Bob.
My first Modern Jazz Cassette tape by Bob James!!
Never thought I'd need a musical nickel in my life, but apparently I do!!!

Bob made some gangster azz music thats why a lot of rappers sampled him
Bob James is Jazz and Hip Hop to me. Was this music appreciated in the 70s or was it niche?
It was very appreciated
@@acsryoung Thanks

Obsession my favorite album

Good music brought me here .

Touch Dancing with Pamela on her Birthday in summer NYC 1981. Magical album.
This is Paradise. More.. utopia. Nostalgia di futuro. And former Steve Gadd with former tools. So fluent
