Bob James returns with his first solo album for 12 years. ‘Espresso’ is a fine trio album that highlights Bob James virtuosity on a set comprising primarily of original material. The two covers are a version of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ and an interesting take of ‘Mister Magic’. The various influences that mark James’ recordings including a slight classical one on ‘Mojito Ride’. His penchant for great melodies is captured on ‘Boss Lady’. ‘Bulgogi’ is a fine Jazz blues workout and ‘Shadow Dance’ is a beautiful piece. Quality album. Welcome back Bob
