Feel Like Making LIVE! (2022) by the Bob James Trio is an audiophile-grade, live-in-the-studio retrospective that captures the smooth jazz icon revisiting his vast catalog with stunning dynamic intimacy and modern clarity. Recorded live without overdubs, the soundscape is exceptionally three-dimensional and open: James’s acoustic grand piano has a tactile hammer-striking-string weight, complemented by the buttery warmth of his signature Fender Rhodes and subtle synthesizer accents. Michael Palazzolo’s upright bass anchors the soundstage with deep, resonant, wood-and-wire detail, while Billy Kilson’s drum work provides a crisp, holographic pulse—ranging from delicate brush shimmers to explosive, high-impact snare snaps. Covering timeless staples like "Angela (Theme from Taxi)," "Nautilus," and "Westchester Lady," the production is pristine, warm, and highly conversational, offering a reference-quality listening experience that balances classic smooth grooves with lively jazz-trio spontaneity.
