"Off the heels of 2018’s Grammy-nominated album, Heart of Brazil: The Music of Egberto Gismonti, comes jazz clarinet icon Eddie Daniels' new project paying tribute to the world-renowned Brazilian musician/composer Ivan Lins called Night Kisses. After Antonio Carlos Jobim, Lins is arguably the most successful Brazilian popular composer outside of Brazil. He was discovered in the 1980s by a host of American pop and jazz luminaries who seized upon the English versions of his songs reinterpreted by Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble, Sting, Sarah Vaughan, Patti Austin and countless others.
Night Kisses brings Daniels together with legendary jazz pianists Dave Grusinand Bob James, plus the top-shelf trio of pianist Josh Nelson, bassist Kevin Axt and drummer Mauricio Zottarelli, and the Grammy Award-winning Harlem Quartet. With new arrangements by Kuno Schmid and Josh Nelson, Night Kisses collects songs from Ivan Linsclassic albums released during the late’70s/early ‘80s period of his career.
The album was produced by Resonance founder and co-president George Klabin with arrangements by pianists Josh Nelson, Kuno Schmid, Dave Grusin and Bob James."

“In this special "Director's Commentary" edition of Let the Record Show, hosts Mike Pizzo and Warren Peace sit down with legendary jazz producer Bob James to discuss his seminal 1974 track "Nautilus", which has been sampled in countless hip-hop songs (over 400 according to WhoSampled).
Peace and Pizzo talk to Bob about the origins of the track "Nautilus." As a special treat, they also get his reaction to a handful of golden era rap classics from Run DMC, Slick Rick, Eric B & Rakim, Main Source, and Ghostface Killah which sampled the track, as the cuts spin on vinyl.”
Enjoy a recent flip of “Nautilus” as musician Jesse Fischer brings a delightful new perspective on the heavily-sampled opening part in his song “Punjab”.
Years after it's original release, the delightful melody of Grover Washington Jr.'s "Mister Magic" still resonates with joy to this day. Enjoy a piano cover by the song's original pianist and hear Bob discuss how the final version of the classic Mister Magic was transformed from its original version as a vocal performance. This cover version is from Bob James's 2018 album "Espresso".
