Definitely, 1985 a chance whereby through live performance music talents the likes of Alexander Zonjic, Yogi the drummer & the marvelous Kirk Walum were brought to limelight, a period before the untimely death of Bob James bandleader, the energetic bassist Gary king. Leonard Doc Gibbs an old band member, a band full a energy.
@@Steven8503 I think he is referring to Gary King, who also died young but not until the 2000's. Still a bit strange to call someone else the band leader when the group is literally "Bob James"
Bob James influence on 80s hip hop music was massive! It was from the hip hop samples of his music that I actually started to really appreciate all of his music, not just the break downs sampled by rap artist. The man is amazing!
+Mario Enrique Llado Vega this is treasure. This band is heavyweight and it shows in the music and the way they groove together. I was not aware of David Brown's lead guitar work until now. The man can play. The late Gary King was joy to watch. I thought Gary King was the most animated and craziest in terms of bringing energy to Bob Jame's music and live show but now after watching the GREAT Yogi Horton I have to give them both props for bringing the music alive and providing showmanship without taking away from the music. Yogi Horton to me has achieved legendary status since his unfortunate death. He was a perfect fit for Luther Vandross' R & B music and teamed up with Marcus Miller on bass, that must have been another unbelievable live show every time they hit.
True story. Regular bassist never showed up so they pulled random guy out of the bar next door, stuffed a 20 dollar bill in his pocket and told him if he mimed well enough on the bass he'd get another 20 after the show. 11:46
7:55 Bob accidentally triggers voice change to the DX7's ORGAN and returns it to the Electric Piano patch. Musically i think he should left it as ORGAN and switch to EP on the end of his solo
Thank you for uploading! I have the 'laser disc' but no player, been searching and finally been uploaded. I believe this concert represents one of the best if not the best jazz sound of the 80s.. kudos to all musicians and especially Bob James, Taxi improvisation was awesome!

This is Gary King's son Kinyatta. It is great to see people enjoy his bass lines.
Kinyatta King Gary was a great bass player with very good sense of humor RIP
I really miss your dad's sound. It was so great with all those old Bob James tunes.
Your dad was a fantastic player! No wonder Bob always wanted him in all his tours!
One of my fav bass players...
Yogi was such a gifted and exciting drummer!

2pac at the drums

I've never seen mics taped on the wrists before for percussion. Great idea!

Bob James is still alive.
Yes, Bob James is still alive. Are you referring to Yogi Horton, who died two years after this performance in 1987?

OMG... I was there that evening..... My guy Yogi Horton is playing the drums!!!
There's just something about live music that gives it an edge that studio recordings do not. By the way, the sound on this is great!
Un très, très beau concert du brillant maestro Bob James et de sa troupe de virtuoses. Bravo !!
I love listen Mr. Bob James while coding!!
FM synthesis high times !!! Yamaha DX7 mkI and the rare Yamaha GS2 Digital Electric Piano ... wow !
The fill-in with a yogi kick is wonderful!
Came here because of Yogi
