From the 1960s to the present day, Bob James has had an extremely varied career, characterised by many fascinating twists and turns. For some, he is a hip-hop icon, while for others, he is the godfather of smooth jazz. Bob James made his mark at producer Creed Taylor's CTI label in the 1970s, when he was the architect of an innovative sound that fused jazz with classical music and funk. Winner of two Grammy Awards, Bob James is a living legend in his own right and will be performing in Espinho in what will be his debut in Portugal under his own name.
