Adventures in Smooth Jazz without Lance Mueller: Bob James, “Theme from ‘Star Trek’”

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 by Jeff Giles

There will be no Adventures in Smooth Jazz with Lance Mueller, Office Drone this week — maybe next Wednesday — but those of you who were goofing off in the comments section of last week’s Mueller post might remember our friend Jonathan’s kind offer to share Bob James’ version of the theme to Star Trek. Ever the mensch, he sent it to me last week, but I’ve been waiting for the right moment for another Bob James-studded post. It’s dawned on me, finally, that there is no “right time” for a Bob James post, so what the hell, here’s a video of James performing live:

And his “Theme from ‘Star Trek’” (download). Thanks, Jonathan! (I think!)
