The Founding Father of Spy-Soundtrack Funky Soul Acid Jazz was in the house at the Sala Apolo last night here in Barcelona and my crew and I were there in the front row to gyrate to the grooves. Well, we started in the front row – right in front of Mr. Taylor’s Hammond B-3 – but then realized that those 10-foot mammoth speakers hanging from the ceiling were pointing at the center of the dance floor so we moved back about four scissor steps and were greeted by the blaring trumpet and silky smooth vocals that the enormous sub woofers at the front of the stage just couldn’t handle on their own. The high point for me was, without a doubt, when James played Starsky & Hutch and had everyone sing along: Ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum baaa-da-ba-ba ba-da-bum ba-da-baaaaaaa ba-ba-da!
