Bob James' Explosions

Most of you know Bob James as the lame-ass smooth jazz composer who collaborated with equally lame ass musicians to make boring and contrived records that don't really go anywhere. Rest assured that that is the truth. However, in 1965 a young Bob James collaborated with the great ESP Record Label to put out an electronic-free jazz album that exceeds your wildest expectations. The albums is noisy, disjointed and sounds absolutely nothing like your father's Bob James. I can't recommend this album enough. It's a gem of an album and definitely a Bob James album that you shouldn't be embarrassed to own!
