LOS ANGELES, CA (KOCH Records) - Bob James will be honored with the 2006 George Benson Lifetime Achievement Award at the second annual Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards, Friday, April 7, 2006. A two-time Grammy Award winner, James has been a mainstay of the contemporary jazz scene since the early '70s. His 35-plus solo albums includes his latest "Urban Flamingo," recently released on KOCH Records, featuring his Michigan-based quartet.

As a member of the super group Fourplay, he has consistently topped the contemporary jazz charts and most notably brought smooth jazz into the living rooms of millions with his theme song "Angela" for the television series "TAXI." He is also a Lifetime Achievement Award recipient from the National Smooth Jazz Awards in the U.S.

James will perform at the awards show which takes place at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. He will also be touring in conjunction with his new KOCH Records CD "Urban Flamingo" in May. Concerts include dates in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and New York.
