Album Review

Bob ''Taxi'' James meets Rod ''Boogie Nights'' Temperton and the results are splendid, to say the least--generally, it's hard to find a bad Bob James album, anyway you cut it. This underrated album joins the then (1980-81) steamin' composer Temperton with mellow keyboard innovator for some pure music. Great background vocal work by the likes of Vandross, Austin, Val Simpson among many--I'm still trying to decipher their vocal impressionisms on the track ''Hypnotique''. The title track is not the ''Sign of the Times'' made by that Roger Nelson guy, but nevermind that. This is smooth jazz with a funky undertone (bass by Miller on some tracks?) [amazon.com]
