The clock has struck midnight so I can unleash funkiness. One of my all time favorite samples used by RUN DMC in Peter Piper originated in this toast to New Orleans.

AMG Review of Two
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideBob James largely defined pop/jazz crossover in the '70s. Two, reissued by Koch, is typical of his output. Mixing together aspects of pop, R&B and classical with just a touch of jazz, James (heard throughout on electric keyboards) put the emphasis on catchy melodies and lightly funky rhythms. The results range from insipid to pleasant, with a brass section, a string section, and vocalists (including Patti Austin) utilized to create what is essentially background music.
