Bob composed all the original music used in that television series for its entire run. 'He became one of the biggest stars of smooth jazz...' states the NEW YORK TIMES. '[Bob James] is the consummate pianist-composer whose licks and grooves have been essential cogs in the clockwork of smooth American session jazz...' says THE GUARDIAN. 'There was a time in the mid-'70s when James' music seemed to be everywhere; on the radio, television, films...None of the residue of those days is missing from this latest iteration. What is evident from start to finish is that James still has the chops and impulses...' raves DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE (2022 Album Review 'Bob James Trio: Feel Like Making Live!').
