Listener Reviews & Comments
This is one of Bob James' supplemental CD's in his discography. This album comprises ten selections (the majority of which are remixes)of music from the TV series "TAXI". It is in "theme and variation" form, with the theme appearing last. The individual variations take their character from portions of the theme itself. Bob is able to get away with this due to his having a Masters in composition. "Hello Nardo" (variation 6) contains references to both "Shamboozie" and "Janus" (see HANDS DOWN). It is the CD's best track. Some of the luminary musicians on this CD include Tom Scott, Michael Brecker, Eric Gale, Gary King, Dave Friedman, and the late Mike Lawrence. Also present is the familliar recorder work of George Marge. The TV version is here in full along with the ending salutation (Good Night, Mr. Walters") ("Groan").
