Lucky Seven is the seventh album by jazz keyboardist Bob James, released in 1979. It peaked at No. 42 on the Billboard 200.




Critical reception



The Columbian called Lucky Seven "a lackluster effort when compared to his earlier CTI albums." The Morning Call considered it to be the work of "a group of sophisticated musicians playing a mild, but interesting, brand of jazz fusion."
