Bob James - Heads. I have two Bob James records. I think he does a great job of using his record covers for artwork. I also have his record called Touchdown. He uses the Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel, a copper-nickel five-cent piece struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The coin was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser. The album Heads came out in 1977. He does a cover version of Peter Frampton's I'm in You. And he also does Billy Preston's You Are so Beautiful. And what a great lineup he showcases on this album. He are some of the greats who play on it: Steve Gadd, Dave Sanborn, Grover Washington, Jr., Patti Austin, Michael Brecker, and the genius (and personal favorite of mine) Jon Faddis, the former Music Director of our world-renowned Chicago Jazz Ensemble.
