Bob James & Earl Klugh – One On One

A 1979 collaboration between Bob James and Earl Klugh, released on Tappan Zee Records.

Featuring Bob James on electric piano and Earl Klugh on acoustic guitar.

With contributions from Ron Carter, Eric Gale, Harvey Mason, and others, it delivers that quintessential sophisticated sound of the late 70s, drifting between jazz, fusion, and soul.

And when listening with Hip Hop ears, it gets even more interesting.

A3 “Love Lips” was sampled in Onyx’s “Last Dayz,” and B3 “Winding River” in Buddha Monk feat. ODB’s “Got’s Like Come On Thru.”

Bob James is an artist who left behind vital sampling sources in Hip Hop history, such as “Nautilus.”

This album is another essential record to dig for in that same vein.
