Bob James Trio "Topside" live at Java Jazz Festival 2019 

93 yrs old and still grooving. Love it !

Really Cheers up your office day!

I feel like I've been sleeping for many years and then woke up to Bob!

OK, I'll cop to being 78 and still loving this incredible sound! God bless and keep you ALL who are old enough to appreciate all this gave (and STILL GIVES) us. Keep on keepin' on, y'all ... and never give a inch; never give in.

Drummer is KILLING It!!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE this song. With the passing of Joe Sample, Bob James is now my favorite pianst. I have been a fan since be did the theme song for the tv show "Taxi" in the late 70's.

In these times, great music is Blessed .

Bob "Mr Hall of Fame" James. It had to be an honor to accompany him!!

I love the way Bob James feels the music while he plays the board.

At this age .... my legendary hero backs to play Trio ... The Fire is on... .. respect !! ... have been being his fan sinced 40 years ago... 😍😍😍

In these times, great music is Blessed. Bob James. 🌈

Ronald Otis on Drums it's Amazing 5:06

A fan since the 80s.

Incredible how three people can make such a beautiful music!

These guys have rhythm and soul, that's how you end a Tuesday night

Love that bass player, never would thought that.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! IT IS PURE FUNK, GENIUS, BOB JAMES GENIUS!! I'M CLAPPING AND BEE-BOPPIN ALONG. I LOVE THIS JAZZZZ. GOD BLESS YOU BOB AND TRIO AND SOUND GUYS!! THE LORD BLESS YOU. THANK YOU FOR THIS MAGNIFICENT MUSIC THAT I MISSED SO MUCH. LAST YEAR, I SOLD MY KEYBOARD AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE DONE THAT. I'M PRAYING FOR A NEW ONE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

Sounds like theme music for a TV show.

I'm 63 just started listening to jazz and found his music videos on RU-vid l love drummers but this guy is so amazing and to still be doing it at his age love it

If I could press LIKE a hundred times I would!!!! Astounding!

World class trio ❤

Guys doing what they know best and knowing how to put their best into my ( our ) ears . Thank you guys , sorry innovators

I like the face impressions of them, drummer is so talented, watch his drum solo, hi hat continuously playing while his drum role solo, good multitasking.

Nothing better then listening to Bob James and crew for instant uplift!

Drummer Otis is in there....this is smooth...I first heard BJ on Fanda go in early 70's

It's so great to see such a solid trio perform so eloquently. Awesome!

The best music while driving!!! With beer on the side,,

Palazzolo is the finest jazz bass player I have ever heard. What musicianship and exertise. Elegant!

I was introduced to jazz at s very. early age, my Dad loved jazz, and , I believe Hue Maskelia, was my favorite.

The BASS is the best... he is going places... without him this song would not be anything.... heavy cat !!!

I'm usually not a fan of bass solos, but Michael killed it with this one!

Hallo Mr James..... Saya sdh ngefans secara tidak sadar sejak masih SD ditahun 80an. Sampai akhirnya pada th 91 ketika saya main ke rumah Sahabat saya Almarhum Keletia Resa...di sana saya menemukan koleksi kaset Bob James ll th 1976 Perina Record. Milik kakaknya.....hmmmm woow amajing Begitu saya putar saya langsung Suka. Krn musiknya familiar ditelinga , krn sering dengar di film2 barat TVRI .... Akhirnya kasetnya saya pinjam sampai 2 th. Hahahahaha gila...minjem apa minjem. Sampai akhirnya saya cari dipasar loak dan berhasil menemukan album Bob James l, ll dan lll. Yeaaaahhhh Saya pulangin deh kasetnya.... Disampul kaset tertulis tanggal 21 Januari 1976, gile bulan February nya gw baru lahir..... Tua banget itu kaset. Th 2006 klo gak Salah, om Bob James konser di Shangri la Jakarta, kangen banget pengin nonton ....walaupun tiketnya Mahal. Dibela2in.... Nonton pakai tiket yg paling murah. Eh ternyata pas lagi duduk di kursi paling belakang.....Saya dibisikin sama petugas panitia untuk pindah duduk dikursi paling depan..... Alhamdulillah girang banget. Bayar murah , eh duduk di VIP seat....rejeki anak sholeh. Saya fotoin om Bob James pakai kamera poket digital yg hasilnya masih ala kadarnya waktu itu....hehehehehe

This is the most beautiful tune!

If I could play music, this is what I want to play.!!!!!! Only better, if it was possible

Excelente desempeño de los tres!!! Contrabajo bien caminadito, Otis un portento!!! Gracias!!!

Just pure joy ! It’s so much fun to enjoy the music when it shows that all of these musicians enjoy what they are doing. Just watch their faces- they are really putting their heart into the music, not just playing instruments. Love this- Keep up the great work !!!!

All of you are great. Thank you for share your talent. ❤️🙏

A long time ago i bought a lot of Bob James records from a 2.nd hand record store that got 'em from a music critic. At that time i never really wanted to meet any of the musicians i liked... Bob changed that... well, at least so much that i would love to hear him at a rehersal jam session. This guy is a living legend. It's hard to describe what Bob's music does for me, but what I do know is, it's all good!

I've loved bob James since the 80s. Always will listen. Very soothing. 10 31 2020👍😁

Actually it's a quartet. Three men and a rhythm computer
