About this album

Two Of A Kind is a refined meeting of two major jazz voices, pairing Bob James’s keyboard sophistication with Earl Klugh’s fluid acoustic guitar. Released in 1982, the album showed how smooth jazz could be both accessible and musically exacting, balancing laid-back grooves with sharp melodic interplay. James and Klugh move with easy rapport through pieces such as The Falcon, Whiplash and Wes, keeping the focus on tone, phrasing and uncluttered arrangement rather than flash. Its polished sound and relaxed confidence helped make it a favourite among listeners drawn to the jazz-funk crossover of the early 1980s.
