Reviews

Tour De Force for Bob James as he wrote, arranged, produced, and played on this LP with themes from the Taxi" TV show...Eric Gale, Tom Scott, and other jazz greats on on the album...Themes named for many of the show's characters but sadly not for Latka Graves...Oh well, you can't have it all..."Taxi" theme is actually called "Angela"...You hear it, you recall it...Nice clean TV soundtrack that is a stellar audio winner...
