About this album

Sign Of The Times is a polished 1981 showcase for Bob James’ sophisticated blend of jazz, funk and fusion. Built on his elegant keyboard lines and tightly arranged groove work, the album reflects the smooth, highly produced sound that made James one of the most influential crossover jazz figures of the era. Its mix of soul-jazz warmth and contemporary jazz polish keeps the record firmly in the early-’80s fusion lane, while still sounding distinctly melodic and accessible. For listeners tracing the evolution of jazz-funk into glossy modern jazz, this album sits squarely among James’ most representative work.
