Thank you Bob James for the music. I am a 51-year-old Nigerian and Lagos had Radio Nigeria 2 back in the day, and these jazz songs took me and my late father on unforgettable journeys.

This rhythm section, is absolutely phenomenal. Especially that bassist, so in the pocket.

[@realbser1956]

Seeing Westchester Lady reimagined like this leaves me speechless. The simplicity of the trio and the magnificent music is brilliant. Bob, you are a national treasure, Michael, you are a master on that bass and Billy, what can be said about you that has not already been said? A true legend on the skins. This made my day. Thank you Bob, your music, through it’s many iterations, is in many ways, the soundtrack of my life. 🔥🔥❤️❤️🙏🙏

This was the most astonishingly skilful performance I've ever heard. I'm nearly 60, been playing piano since a kid, however I have resided myself to being completely hopeless after hearing this. I'm blown away.

[@ryan33200]

[@CharlesFitzpatrick-b1d]

This is an excellent rendition by a thrilling trio. Few recognize that Westchester Lady was Bob James way of paying tribute to Herbie Hancock's Chameleon.

This is such a groove! That bass player... dang!

[@jackieclark8253]

When I was playing keys full time,Mr. James was one of my top 3 to listen to(as a player and a composer)... I switched to bass a little later, and recently was blessed to actually play with this living legend right before the pandemic hit! He was 80 at the time, and played with so much fire and energy that night! I'll treasure that day/gig forever!!!! What an incredible contribution to the world of music!

Bob James: "Westchester Lady." Simple and to the Point! R&B music lover to Forever.

Listening from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 👌

[@monel58]

Wow!!! I can't believe I like this version better than the original vinyl LP version I once owned.

[@2timothy23]

Great version of one of my favorite Bob James songs. Westchester Lady, NIghtcrawler, Nautilus, Feel Like Making Love, Restless, Raise the Roof, We're All Alone, Touchdown, and on and on. I've been listening to your music for decades and I am never disappointed. You were here recently at the Rochester Jazz Fest in NY but I couldn't go to see you and I was bumming about it. My 18 year old son has been turned on to your music from hearing me play your songs in the car (Touchdown is his favorite jam). I'm really digging the trio and I think I speak for so many others when I say that your contribution to jazz (and music as a whole) will not be overlooked and should always be appreciated. God bless.

[@edgarvanasseltmusic]

Killing track! love the interaction between the musicians!
